Beauty and the Beast meets Labyrinth in this YA romantic fantasy about a deadly dream world and the shadow-cursed girl who must dare its depths to save her family, all while she falls in love with a dark prince.

The Kingdom of Noctis is plagued by Corruption: a curse that spreads through dreaming. The Shadow Bringer rules from his castle in the Dream Realm, stealing souls one dreamer at a time. Only an elixir, taken every night before sleeping, can ward off the dreams and halt Corruption. But for some, the allure of the Dream Realm proves too strong. Esmer Havenfall desperately wants to escape her dreadful village. When her sister, Eden, succumbs to Corruption and their elixir-dealing parents are accused of a horrific crime, Esmer’s life unravels into a nightmare. Then she dreams of the Shadow Bringer and learns that his sinister magic might be a part of her, too. Enticed by the prospect of ending her kingdom’s curse and avenging her family, Esmer follows him deeper within the Dream Realm. 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, this seductive gothic fantasy is filled with magic, secrets, and dreamy shadow-haunted romance.

From NOVL Nation

“I am absolutely obsessed with this book where dreaming is bad for you… I’m such a sucker for dream worlds, especially when your enemies to lovers villain is made of shadows with gothic vibes. I’ve been really missing good paranormal romances lately, and this is just what I needed this summer!”

“What I loved about it:

-It was incredibly satisfying to see all the intricate plot pieces fall into place by the end. And despite a bit of a cliffhanger, it only left me eagerly awaiting Book 2!

-The masterfully executed slow-burn romance, unfolding beautifully through an engaging enemies-to-allies-to-lovers dynamic.”

“I loved the overall storyline of this book and the atmospheric dream world that the author created.”
