"Masquerade at the Edge of Dreams" welcomes you to the Dreamscape, one of the most wonderful and dangerous planes in all the Omniverse.
Written in the form of verses ─for poetry is the only way to make sense of dreams ─ this book introduces the denizens of the living-world lurking beyond the waking hours; constructs of the mind given corporeal forms, embodying the best and the worst things hidden the dark recesses of our selves.
Come and meet them; join the party and choose your path. Within this dance-hall you might find allies, or enemies. Perhaps you will gain untold powers or simply vanish in a dark corner, never to be seen again. Or, if you so choose it, you may simply go alone and enjoy the party in solitude... and safety. But remember, at the end of this long night, whether you find Ascension, Corruption or Liberation, the choice is all yours.
This book is part of the Vortex Chronicles literary universe. If you want to know more about it, you can follow the rest of my work uploaded on Wattpad.
