My dreams have a hold over me. I can't escape them, no matter how hard I try. I'm caught in a web that has me entangled so tightly I'm not sure I'll ever find a way to break free... When she was born, Gwen Connolly was left at the hospital. Her mother ran away and never looked back, leaving Gwen with nothing more than unanswered questions. Seventeen years later, Gwen has moved on. Grown up. She has a family and friends, and everything seems to be going in the right direction for her – until the dreams start. And not just any ordinary dreams, but ones that last for days and are so real that Gwen begins to think she might be crazy. Especially when she starts to fall for a forbidden boy who seems determined to keep her away from him. He is only a character in her dreams, not real, not alive, and yet... she can't seem to control her feelings. As Gwen begins to uncover the truth about her dreams, her world, and herself, she realizes that whatever lies in wait for her is something much, much bigger than she ever imagined. And it is only just beginning.
