Esmer Havenfall believed that releasing Erebus from his centuries of captivity would solve everything. She was wrong. Now both are Shadow Weavers, bound by darkness and wielding dangerous power. The Dream Realm cracks apart around them as Raelion, a demon king trapped inside Mithras, prepares his assault on the world. His curse transforms dreams into nightmares and people into monsters. Esmer and Erebus must gather broken allies and face ancient terrors to stop him. Then they find themselves thrown from the Dream Realm into a crumbling kingdom. Something monstrous has already escaped into this world, and it threatens to destroy their bond before they can save anyone.
