(Free to read + a paid bonus chapter) In a time when kidnapping is a common occurrence, Nora is about to become her father's science experiment.
Nora believes she's starting a new job, working alongside her father, but instead, she's trapped inside of a dream with other humans. Besides for a small group of dreamers called Lucid, no one realizes anything is wrong with their new world. But dreams reveal who someone really is, even the secrets they didn't know, and Nora is not an exception.
Charlie's father, Richard Pace, is the lead scientist. As a Lucid, Charlie is ordered by his father time and again to betray his own kind. And Nora is his next missions.
But when Charlie discovers just how far his father's plans for Nora go, he'll have to choose between his freedom or his morals.
Is it possible to escape when you don't even know you're trapped?
