⚠️ Trigger Warning This book contains explicit adult themes, psychological strain, and complex interpersonal dynamics. It is recommended for mature readers only. It is also strongly advised to read Book 1 and Book 2 beforehand, as key emotional arcs and plot developments build directly upon them. After the incident backstage-a moment that left Nate physically and emotionally unsettled-he enters a fragile phase of reorientation. As he struggles to regain his footing, a fleeting idea begins to take shape, setting in motion a chain of events that changes everything. The unusual connection between Nate, Mira, and Eliot opens a new chapter-intense, vulnerable, and consequential. At the same time, a force that has long lingered in the shadows steps forward. Something dark turns its gaze toward Mira, alters her, and makes her appear increasingly unfamiliar to Nate. Caught between desire and danger, devotion and descent, the story unfurls the origins of how "Sleep" became the entity bearing that name. I also want to take a moment to thank my friend @wtchcos_666. For the countless phone calls and brainstorming sessions for Book 3. For the brilliant ideas that set this story in motion. I'm certain that without her creativity and input, this story would never have become what it is. Through this project, we truly found each other - and I'm grateful for that.
