The Sandman's Daughter

I walk along. My feet padding silently against the floor of the stark, cold hallway as it stretches out in front of me. I am in my mother's dream. She doesn't know it. I slip through as softly as a cloud caught in a peaceful breeze.

I am here to help her, but she will never know that. No one ever will. People never remember my visits in the waking hours. I'm a nocturnal guide. I'm pulled into the dreams of those that need me the most. I guide them through the jumbled mess in their minds, trying to free them from what troubles them. I don't know why I can do this. It's as much a part of me as my big feet or my brown curls.

It is what I've always done. Unfortunately, it is what I'll always do.

Whether I like it or not.

I am Cassie O'Bryan and I am a Dream Walker.

Cassie O'Bryan is not your typical high school student. At night, she is pulled into people's dreams, guiding them through anything the mind needs to work out. She was born with this gift, or as Cassie feels, a curse.

When her fellow classmates start falling into unexplained comas, it seems it might be linked to disturbances in the dream world. What is stalking dreams, turning them into nightmares, and reaping children's souls? Cassie must use her gift to find the answers. Along the way, she just might find out who she really is as well.
