F or the last 500 years, the Kingdom of Noctis has been plagued by Corruption, a curse that spreads through dreams. Only an elixir, taken each night before sleep, can ward off the curse. But for some, the allure of the Dream Realm proves too strong. Esmer Havenfall desperately wants to escape her curse-struck village. But as her family starts to succumb to Corruption, Esmer's life swiftly unravels into a nightmare - especially when she begins to dream herself. In Esmer's dreams, she meets her greatest fear: the Shadow Bringer, who rules from his castle in the Dream Realm, stealing souls one dreamer at a time. As Esmer follows the Shadow Bringer deeper into his kingdom she starts to feel a strange kinship to his sinister magic. But the prince of darkness has a haunted past, one that might change the fate of Esmer's kingdom - and her heart - forever. Lush and vividly imagined, Logan Karlie creates an immersive nightmare in this seductive gothic fantasy, infused with shadow-haunted romance and an exhilarating thread of horror. โญ โญ โญ โญ โญ 'Truly magical' โญ โญ โญ โญ โญ 'A mesmerizing journey' โญ โญ โญ โญ โญ 'Dark and compelling' โญ โญ โญ โญ โญ 'The story is built to perfection' โญ โญ โญ โญ โญ 'Captivati
