When the Unseen turn dreams inside out, they become nightmares.
The reaper is back… with reinforcements.
With the aid of his clan, watching over the Child-of-Balance should be as easy as digging a grave, right? Wrong! With both Bond-Rites hanging over his cloak and the Unseen bent on getting Alexcia, Tevin finds his control is decomposing faster than a corpse. As the clans' tensions build, the last thing he wants to admit is protecting Alexcia has turned into an addiction… and what's worse, he craves it.
On the other side, Alexcia Stasis is having a hard time getting back into her old life. With friends turning bitter for no reason and now her best friend —Jake Steal— sparking unwelcome emotions, things can't get much worse… or so she thinks. As the nightmares start crawling out of the darkness to haunt her days, she receives a visit from two possessed children who reveal her life is a lie only her parents can explain. Alexcia is determined to find out why.
Can Tevin maintain his control long enough to keep Alexcia safe? Because the answers she seeks could jeopardize the very thing the reaper has tried to protect for the last ten years… her life.
