Between Shadows and Stars

Every night, Elara dies.
Every morning, she wakes with bruises around her throat.

For two years, the same nightmare has hunted her through mist and silence. A shadow creature waits at the edge of her dreams, patient and merciless. When she wakes with marks that should not exist, she realizes the nightmare is crossing into her waking world.

Her only refuge is Dreamer's Attic, the antique shop she mysteriously inherited after losing two weeks of her life. The shelves whisper, the air hums with secrets, and Noctis, the shop's keeper, seems to know more than she ever admits. When a locked book wrapped in faded cloth appears at the door, everything begins to unravel.

The shadows are moving closer.
The book remembers too much.
And the man who knows her name inside the dream may be the only one who can save her, or destroy her completely.

Between Shadows and Stars is a dark fantasy thriller about nightmares that bleed into reality, forgotten magic, and a woman caught between two worlds where death is never the end.
