What would you do if your worst nightmares become someone else's reality? Julia Abbot is an ordinary woman living an ordinary life with the ordinary man of her dreams until an extraordinary twist of fate brings a new man into her dreams. Jahlin has been on the trail of evil his entire adult life, a trail that leads him to Granite Falls where his honour as a Shadow Sword will not be the only thing put to the test. Kelly Bradock's cynicism is what makes her one of the best detectives in her division, but how long can she pretend that things that do not exist are the very things she is up against in a battle no one could possibly win?
