Dream of Shadows

Updates every Monday, Wednesday, Friday

"Some destinies are written in starlight. Others are claimed through blood. But the rarest are chosen through love-if you're brave enough to define love for yourself."

Lyralei Ashwood has always been different. In the small mystical town of Ravencrest, her gift for interpreting dreams sets her apart-but she has no idea how carefully her entire life has been orchestrated. For eighteen years, a silver-eyed stranger has visited her dreams, offering comfort and guidance while weaving invisible threads of influence through every choice she's ever made.
When her great-aunt's mysterious death leaves Lyralei a crumbling manor and a collection of journals filled with impossible warnings, she discovers the truth: she is the culmination of centuries of supernatural manipulation, bred specifically to fulfill an ancient prophecy. The beautiful entity from her dreams isn't her protector-he's Morpheus, a primordial being whose obsession with recreating his lost love has shaped her bloodline for generations.
But Lyralei isn't the only one with hidden agendas. Garrett Thorne, the mysterious hunter who arrives to protect her, carries secrets of his own-including the fact that he's lived for over two centuries and belongs to an ancient order that sees her as either humanity's salvation or its greatest threat.
Caught between a vampire's patient obsession and a knight's protective devotion, Lyralei must choose: accept the cosmic destiny that promises unlimited power but demands her humanity, or fight for the freedom to forge her own path-even if that choice could unravel the barriers between dreams and reality itself.
In a world where love and manipulation intertwine like silver threads, where dreams bleed into waking life, and where the most beautiful prisons are built from genuine affection, Lyralei will discover that the most dangerous magic of all is the power to choose your own fate.
