(FIRST CHAPTER WILL BE RELEASED SATURDAY, JANUARY 4TH, 2025, AT 7 P.M. MST AND CONTINUE WEEKLY AFTERWARD) -- **BOOK 2 IN THE TALES FROM DROMISSE SERIES** This is a nightmare that can't be escaped by waking up. Silvia's best efforts to change the course of the dream world of Dromisse fail after Duncan's true identity is publicly rediscovered. In the wake of his reveal, other individuals manifest their influences within the world: the entrepreneurial Daedalus; the cold Crown; the enigmatic Dove; each there to either help or hurt its inhabitants, or perhaps both. As Silvia wakes up to the reality of her situation, the need to break her destructive promise with the earring becomes urgent when enemies old and new threaten her. But the strange will of the multicolored earring-and other objects: the sword, a pair of wings, and a peculiar book-might be stronger than those who made unwise promises to them. These artifacts, otherworldly and unpredictable, are capable of creating powerful, reality-altering dreams, and dangerous, too-real nightmares. And the Nightmare wants nothing more than to exist, to freely torture all of the world. With the uncontrollable power of the earring, such a future is too dangerously possible. With the clock ticking down until Rimis' manifestation into the real world, individual agendas clash with desires to protect the world from his destructive power. Each side believes they are in the right and the others are in the wrong, and each lays a claim on one of the multicolored objects. All agree on the danger Rimis poses, but disagree on how to deal with him. And these disagreements may bring about the end of reality itself. -- Novel by Phoenix Apprentice and Kechel Inkwell
