THE WAKING DREAM

To remember is rebellion. To dream is war.
Some dreams are too ancient to forget. Some memories never belonged to you at all.
In a world where dreams are closely monitored and wiped clean each morning, Eirene works in a clinic tasked with keeping sleep safe and silent.
But when a stranger murmurs her name, her carefully constructed life begins to unravel. Whispers from forgotten nights follow her. Symbols she can't explain burn under her skin. And one haunting truth refuses to let go:
She has been here before.
As the mysterious severance stirs beneath the seventh layer of the dreamrealm, Eirene is drawn into a hidden war between memory and control, past lives, and present power. And at its heart, a boy who remembers every version of her, even when she does not remember herself.
With ancient sigils, forbidden rituals, and fractured souls awakening, Eirene must cross the dreamlayers to uncover the truth about who she is... and what she was meant to become.
Blending lush mythology, haunting mystery, and lyrical prose, The Waking Dream is a breath-taking fantasy debut about memory, identity, and the quiet rebellion of those who dare to remember.
