Bess wakes from a dream she can't shake. She was serving alongside aliens called Aryllans on a Diplomatic Service Team-building the first Aryllan Embassy on Earth. But humanity remembered what the Aryllans used to be. Monsters. Predators. Then she opens her eyes in Atlanta.

Bess grabs a bag of magnolia seeds and tells her sister she's going on a Walkabout. "You can't do that in Atlanta!" Watch her.

She will witness the Aryllans transform from monsters into the people they once were. She will discover her seeds share an ancient bond with Aryll's mother tree.

Adventure, friendship, explosive action (and diarrhea), this book has it all! Blending surreal comedy with soft, psychological sci‑fi, "Local NPC discovers dreams" feels like Inception meeting meme culture. The result? Dream travel gone wrong. Two strangers accidentally meet in a shared dream and get stuck there - one a sarcastic girl who never asked for a sidekick, the other a lost NPC-like guy who doesn't even know how he got here. Their differences in character aren't even the worse things they'll have to overcome... « Do you see it? - What? - There. Right behind that tree. He squinted at the green uniform mass of bushes. Nothing particularly shocking around them, except perhaps a bald head poorly hidden between two shrubs. Great, another bald head. But this one was probably trying to put them back in jail.» Welcome to the nightmare they never asked for. 🏅ONC2026 Round 2 Qualifier
