"They outlawed sleep in 2531. In 2576, I started dreaming."
In New Albion, sleep is a crime. Dreams are a breach. And something is watching.
After the Third World War, a nuclear aftermath reshaped humanity - not by fire, but by DNA. Gamma radiation awakened something buried in the human mind: a quantum resonance that pulses only in REM sleep.
Now, the government issues Vigil, a mandatory stimulant that strips away dreams. Officially, it's for productivity. Unofficially? It's a firewall.
Because dreams open doors.
Kay, a Class D engineering student, skips her dose. Just once. And something wakes up inside her. Or through her.
Now she sees too much. Hears whispers no one else can. And when a mysterious outsider named Tom appears, with secrets carved into his memory and a redacted past, everything begins to unravel.
Even Sun, her closest friend, is starting to wonder:
Is Kay still human?
Or is she becoming something else?
Welcome to New Albion.
Do not fall asleep.
They will find you.
