DREAMS CAN COME TRUE. BUT SO CAN NIGHTMARES...

Joseph Jacobs was just an ordinary student - until a gift arrived on his 18th birthday: a dreamcatcher with the mysterious inscription 'We Are Such Stuff As Dreams Are Made On'.

Soon, his dreams grow darker - and begin to come true - the visions leak into reality as something awakens within Joseph, and within our world. Something with the power to change everything...

As he learns of the part he must play in the ancient war between our dreams and our reality - Joseph, his friends, and family must face the darkness that lies beyond all that we know.

Because if dreams can come true, so too can nightmares...

A mind-bending, page-turning, genre-blending debut set - perfect for fans of Inception, Ready Player One and The Matrix.
