Bring Me A Dream

In Hawkins, Indiana, Persimmon's life is already mapped out for her: stay close to home, marry a man she doesn't love, give up on college, and accept that wanting more is a luxury girls like her can't afford. She's soft, chubby, kind, and quietly desperate for a future that feels like her own.

Then a child goes missing near the woods.

When Persimmon follows a familiar voice into the woods on the edge of town, she crosses a threshold no one else hears calling. Beyond it waits a dark, living world - and its solitary ruler, Henry - a being shaped by exile, silence, and a loneliness as vast as the realm he governs. He has never known gentleness until Persimmon Greene steps into his realm. Where others fear him, she listens. Where the world above cages her, the darkness offers truth, power, and a terrible kind of freedom.

He is not a monster.

He is not a savior.

And Persi was never meant to be a victim.

As Hawkins searches for a girl they believe is lost, Persi must decide who she is willing to become - and where she truly belongs.

A dark romantic retelling inspired by the myth of Hades and Persephone, Bring Me a Dream is a story about agency, softness as strength, and choosing the life - and love - that feels like home.
