The Dreamer's Crown

In a city where dreams have withered and creativity is on the brink of extinction, street rat Corinne Loucair is a boiling force of change. When she witnesses a brutal murder, she demands justice, only to find herself tossed into a violent conflict against the very powers that have ruled her city for centuries. As an insidious rage threatens to consume her, Corinne catches the eye of Dezmond, the lazy and self-serving patron of dreams and reflections - who chooses her as his representative on a divine and impulsive whim.

Now marked by Dezmond's strange and dangerous power, Corinne begins to wield an influence she barely understands. Her reflection fades, and strange, vivid dreams take hold, but the city of war is watching. With each bold move, Corinne inadvertently begins to ignite the dying imaginations of those around her, unsettling nobles and awakening threats far beyond her comprehension. What she doesn't realize is that by empowering her, Dezmond himself is growing stronger.

But Corinne's true purpose is still unclear, and as whispers of rebellion stir, the boundary between dreams and reality begins to blur. Corinne's rise might bring salvation to her broken world-or drag it further into decay. All she knows is one thing: she will never submit herself again.
