In Your Dreams | ONC 2023 ✔️

Crystal's one escape from the pretentious life her parents want for her is the dreams that fill her mind as she sleeps. In those dreams awaits the same boy who comes to her night after night, filling her heart with hope that can only be a fantasy. That is...until she gets in trouble and is sent to her father's boarding school where she comes face to face with the boy she thought was a figment of her imagination. But dreams are fantasy and in the real world, Hunter and his friends might be her worst nightmare unless she can learn their art of dream walking and earn Hunter's heart in the process.

Hunter and his friends have been like family since they were born. With the shared loss of their parents, they were raised together as orphans and later discovered talents in bending dreams. With those talents, they learned of one name responsible for taking their parents away. Now targeting their current school headmaster, the boys search the realm of dreams for more answers and a way to take vengeance. When that way turns out to be the girl Hunter's been visiting and falling for each night, he has to decide if vengeance is really worth it when the risk is losing the girl of his dreams.
