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.
