Her reality is a dream. His is a nightmare.
Faerie blessed at birth, Princess Aroreh Rosen was molded into feminine perfection for the queen's agenda of a New Dawn Era.
But the realm of Rothlín is far from perfect.
Hunger and sickness plague the factory-choked land. Aroreh, however, is oblivious to the plight of her people. Or her mother's cruelty. Under an enchantment, she is glamoured to remain awake and only see a prospering realm through illusions of beauty and contentment. But all that changes when a rebel sect of faeries releases her mind and unleashes her magic-the power to weave new realities while dreaming.
Now on the run, Aroreh's unspooling world collides with Félip Batten McKinley's, a shadow walker and the surviving heir to the throne of faerie. The very throne the queen maneuvers to annihilate. And why the faeries hid him as a child in the factory slums of Rothlín. But an uprising pushes Félip from the shadows of his life and into the hauntingly beautiful light of Aroreh Rosen-a young woman who represents every nightmare he knows.
Yet only she has the power to awaken a new dream.
