Dreams are, in every way, a daily part of our existence. Some we can recall with ease, others we can hardly remember. The same goes for six strangers who dream just as we do, but when an entity known as the Blue Fairy makes itself known, they soon realize their everyday lives are a constant dream. A cycle of relentless events into the moment they die, to wake up and do over again. When released from this cycle, the six soon discover there are more sinister forces to contend with than their dreams. A dark power unfolds, watching, waiting, and bent on their demise. With the mysterious entity as their guide, they'll face their fears to truly awaken and be free of the cycle, unravel their connection to one another, or die trying. For what awaits them should they fail, can only be a nightmare.

What is not true is that rather than trivialising this discovery as a child's toy, he unveiled the new invention as one that would change the world forever: hot air leads to skies filled with balloons, lands crisscrossed with bronze rail, and the industrial revolution taking place while swords and spears were the weapon of choice. This reality is much more exciting.

France threatens war, the Ottomans draw ever closer to Vienna, and the peasants grumble under the weight of church taxation. Upheaval of every kind seems nigh as the early modern period dawns on Germany - and one man seems to stand in the eye of the storm. Luther.
