Until one morning she discovers proof of his existence, and her sweet dreams come to a halt.
Who is he?
What does he want?
And might he have anything to do with the mysterious deaths that have been plaguing small town Chelan, WA? While old fables and ghost stories are given a new meaning, a whole new world could change everything. As something sinister hatches behind the scenes, Roslyn is determined to find answers to the mysteries within herself as well as the ones all around her.
And especially the one's that prey on her late in the night.
