Hello, Dreamer.
You have been tasked with the sacred duty of protecting Erebos - the land of Dreams and Nightmares. It will not be easy, but you will not do it alone. A partner has been selected for you, and the two of you will work to keep our two very different worlds apart.
Erebos is protected by the Barrier, a powerful shield held up by seven Spires. You and your partner will protect one of these Spires with your lives - for if it falls, the Waking World will too. This Calling is not for the faint of heart, and we would not have selected you if we didn't believe you were worthy of it.
Do you accept?

Alex is a Dreamer - an Oneiroi of Erebos. She and her partner Taylor protect the seven Spires from vicious Nightmare attacks, risking their lives every night. Then, an uninvited guest makes their way into Alex's house - someone from the Dreaming world. Their travel into our world should not be possible, and Alex and Taylor need to figure out how they got through the Barrier before anyone else follows.
The fates of two worlds hinge on these fledgling Oneiroi. Can they find the crack in the Barrier before everything falls into chaos?

Uninvited
For the past two years, the only dreams George has had the pleasure of having were horrible, horrible nightmares. These nightmares always had five things in common. In every one, each and every person he cared about died in an excruciatingly painful way. In every one, George was tied up, and there were lacerations all across his chest that bled but didn't hurt. In every one, there was someone cackling in the background. In every one, there was something there. Something he could never remember the details of when he woke up. And lastly, that something would always lick his wounds slowly, savoring his blood and fear before whispering a promise in his ear. "I'll see you soon, Georgie."

A Nightmare On Elm Street {COMPLETED}
"You can't run from what you buried. Not in your dreams." In the quiet, gray-skied suburb of Springwood, something is stirring beneath the surface-something old, something scorched, something waiting. It's been over a decade since the fire that gutted the abandoned boiler plant. No one talks about what happened. No one remembers why it happened. But their children? They're starting to dream. When 17-year-old Raven Marlowe begins suffering from vivid nightmares-twisted landscapes of bloodstained hallways, whispering shadows, and a man with razors for fingers-she tries to brush it off as stress. Her best friend is dead, found clawed and contorted in her sleep. The coroner says it was self-harm. Raven isn't so sure. As more students at her school begin to break down-some refusing to sleep, others waking up with bruises and burns-the truth uncoils itself like a rattlesnake beneath the town's perfectly trimmed lawns. Years ago, the adults of Elm Street committed a sin. They buried it. But guilt has a pulse. And now it's dreaming. Now Raven must unravel the sins of the past before they consume her future. As her friends begin being picked off one by one, she realizes sleep is no longer a sanctuary. To survive, Raven must become lucid, descend into a burning subconscious, and confront the soul-forge where guilt becomes a weapon. Because once you fall asleep on Elm Street, there's only one rule: If you die in your dreams... you die for real.Complete

He Who Weaves Nightmares | PUBLISHED (Available in Print and eBook Format)
When the three gods of the dream world accidentally caused a mass homicide, their father, Erebus, decided to punish them and send them to the mortal realm. The oldest brother, the weaver of dreams who could mimic any human form, found the humans dull playthings that were beneath him. The youngest, the weaver of surreal visions who could mimic any form of nature, had always been secretly in love with the complicated race. The middle child, the weaver of nightmares who could mimic animals and monsters, carried the guilt why all three were banished and he desired nothing more but to return to his post. The brothers were proud gods who worried that the world would become drearier without them to inspire the mortals through their dreams. They did not want to leave their crucial responsibility with their father who was too busy forming darkness. They always believed mortals were tedious and unimaginative creatures who needed their guidance. Until they met Selene. ** The Penguin Awards - Second Place (Fantasy) Raven Awards - Third Place (Fantasy)Complete

Set Me As A Seal ✓
A time-traveling god. A mortal stuck in Ancient Greece. They have always been able to hear each other's thoughts, across time and space; the only problem is, they were never supposed to meet. Until they did. And it unravelled the balance of everything. ₪₪₪₪₪₪₪₪₪₪₪₪₪₪ The immortal Greek god Evgenis' only job is to travel through time, making sure humanity stays on its course. This is what he was born to do. He was meant to be machine-like, cold, and detached from humanity - ready to invoke bloodshed as needed. His ability to follow through with his duty, however, is disrupted when he forms a mysterious internal bond with a mortal. You see, the Goddess of Love had a different idea for her son's future. Seeing the cruelty of the gods around her, she formed the unborn Evgenis with a secret gift: an eternal inner bond with a mortal. She chose Tharos - named for the strength of his heart - an Ancient Greek villager living an unassuming, simple life. This connection, she prayed, would keep Evgenis' moral compass and conscience strong. He would not end up like the others. No one could anticipate, though, just how powerful and disruptive this bond would grow to be. ------------------------------------------ "Set me as a seal upon your heart... for love is as strong as death." - Song of Solomon, 6:8 ------------------------------------------Complete
