Dream never expected to end up at Nightmare's doorstep-bruised, bleeding, and terrified. But after a violent encounter leaves him broken and alone, and a fight with Ink closes the door to the only home he had, he makes the desperate choice to go where no one would expect him. He doesn't want pity. He doesn't even expect help. He just needs to disappear.
Instead, he collapses into the arms of the last person he ever imagined would catch him: Cross.
Against every instinct, Cross hides Dream inside his room, shielding him from Nightmare's gang and helping him recover in secret. But keeping a wounded Star Sans hidden in the heart of enemy territory is more than risky-it's reckless. Especially when feelings start to shift, and Cross begins to see more in Dream than just an old enemy.
As the days pass and Dream's strength slowly returns, secrets unravel. Epic starts asking questions. And Cross has to decide how far he's willing to go to protect the one person he was supposed to hate.
But something darker is coming for Dream-and the truth behind his attack may change everything.
