In the glittering Faye kingdom, fire fairy princess Annabelle lives a dream life. But terrifying nightmares hint at a hidden past and a father consumed by evil, forcing her to question if her perfect world is just an elaborate illusion.
Meanwhile, in the human town of Rivers Peak, her brother Justin is embracing his own magical lineage. His mission is to enter the treacherous Dream Realm and find his missing siblings, Gwen and Thomas. He is unaware that the local librarian-their forgotten grandmother, Olivia-holds the key to their family's dark history.
Their separate paths are secretly manipulated by the same sinister forces. Their father, King Julian, twists reality to serve his goals, while Marius, an ancient vampire, schemes from the Shadow Realm to harness their power for himself.
As the lines between dream and reality blur, can Annabelle shatter the lies that bind her? Can this fractured family unite to defeat the ancient evils that threaten to consume all realms? Dive into a world where every dream holds a secret and every legacy is a weapon.

Complete. ONC 2021 entry. ONC Longlist and a Round II Ambassador's Pick! Exclusive to Wattpad. Ulthar is a cozy, sleepy town in the Dreamlands, close to the River Skai. It is a cobblestoned, gable-roofed town of pumpkin patches and a sizable population of cats. The only law is that you must never harm a cat, but the town is quiet and peaceful. Cats, humans, fish-people, and cosmic horrors live in unity. And really, the horrors are quite pleasant. Fourteen-year-old Eileen, who escaped the waking world, helps out at the chocolate shop and lives with her inventive adoptive mother, Cecilia Haunt. Besides the occasional cat, zoog, or animate pumpkin snatching the wares away, all is well. That is, until a mysterious eye statue appears in Ulthar. Every night, it moves to a different location. It's the sign of the Great Ones, who long ago left the dark palace of Kadath and went to the sunset city. Listless and hurt over the past, and desperate for an adventure to give herself a purpose, Eileen asserts that this is her chance to make a name for herself at the risk of her own safety and identity.
