Amara "Mara" Shimada has a hard life. Poor, ugly, no father, an overworking mother whom she rarely sees, many health problems to the point she has only one certain thing in her life: she's going to die at 18 due to heart problems. Given how conscious she is of her own mortality, she resigned herself to a life of faith, doing good things and small dreams.
Her short and predictable life came to a halt when she received the visit of a beautiful and strong princess from another dimension calling herself her "other self", named Tojava. She explains to her that her problems are due to a curse that was placed on her own world. She also shares the same fate as her, of dying when she's 18. There is a sliver of hope though: the man who placed that cursed ran away to Mara's world and she believes she can find a way to reserve the curse and cure them both.
In order to do that, however, she needs to exchange bodies with Mara, because she cannot leave her kingdom unattended. Therefore she makes an offer to Mara: to exchange bodies and allow her to live the life of a princess for a year, while she works to find a solution to their problems. Mara accepts and she becomes princess Tojava, ruler of a vast empire and innumerous subjects that love her.
This is too good to be true, right? Mara learns that not everything is what it seems...
Stauts: First Arc finished.
Cover by TheDarkbreaker
Ember has one job-track down nightmares that slip from the dream realm and destroy them before they wreak havoc in the waking world. But when a fractured nightmare escapes, tearing open unstable rifts between realms, Ember finds himself tangled in more problems than he signed up for.
A fragile balance holds the dream realm together, and it's rapidly unraveling. As more nightmare creatures spill into reality, Ember reluctantly finds himself tangled up with a band of misfits: a manic fae who can't keep his hands to himself, a shifter struggling to keep his own instincts in check, and a hidden mage who seems to attract sharp edges like a curse-each with their own motives, secrets, and grudges.
To make matters worse, a seemingly ordinary human girl has somehow wandered into the Dream Realm, a place no mortal should survive. The hunt for her is relentless-by nightmares and hunters alike. Some believe she holds the key to stabilizing the realms, while others fear she might be the final thread unraveling everything.
As Ember fights to contain the chaos, he begins to suspect that none of this is random. Something-or someone-is pulling the strings, and the closer he gets to the truth, the more his own past comes back to haunt him. To stop the collapse of reality itself, Ember must do what he does best: hunt. But this time, he isn't sure if the real nightmare is the creatures he fights-or the people he needs to trust.
