Publisher's Synopsis
A dark and surreal YA fantasy about a soul-stealing dream curse, a villain who fights for redemption, and a romance carved from the darkest of shadows. Perfect for fans of One Dark Window and Howl's Moving Castle.
Welcome to the Dream Realm.
In the Kingdom of Noctis, dreams are deadly and darkness reigns. Villages are rife with Corruption, a demonic curse spread by dreaming, and the wicked Shadow Bringer rules from his monstrous castle in the Dream Realm.
But for nineteen-year-old Esmer Havenfall, her nightmare is just beginning. When a twist of fate banishes her to the Shadow Bringer's castle, she must reckon with dark secrets, soul-stealing demons, and a blooming passion for a villain who is far more worthy than the tales declare him to be.
If they wish to earn their freedom, Esmer and the Shadow Bringer must fight to save both their kingdom and their souls. Unfortunately, time is running out; even as they traverse a precarious dreamscape and outwit the demons that haunt it, rushing to unravel a centuries-old curse, more dreamers are falling prey to Corruption and dying. And if they fail, they'll be lost to the Dream Realm forever.
Be careful what you dream of . . .
