Book One: By Chance.
Set in the near future and inspired by the haunting mosaic of movies such as Gothica and it's struggles of finding sanity and books like, Girl, Interrupted, by Susanna Kaysen, and, I Never Promised You A Rose Garden, by Joanne Greenberg, By Chance follows a young woman named Carlii who wakens to find herself locked within the walls of an asylum. With no chance of winning free and shadowed by the phantom enigma of a woman named Mara, who may or may not be the affect of a Goddess, Carlii must work to retain her assumed sanity while adapting to the surrounding madness. A thing made harder by the dream-like visions of worlds and realities that couldn't possibly be real. In the midst of this, by chance, and Mara, she finds herself drawn to a fellow patient of her ward, a young woman named Ariella. A woman claiming to be from an alternate world that is a twin to the Earth that Carlii knows, a twin Earth that is driven by magic instead of science. A woman with whom she feels the inexplicable bond growing that can only be ascribed as to that of a soul mate. For the pairs psychiatrist and head of the woman's ward, Dr. Sara Chalkin, it's a case that just might change her perception of reality altogether, if it doesn't drive her mad or kill her first.
