We all know everyone dreams but do we dream equally? Of course not, some of us get trapped in our dreams caught between the imaginary and reality. What if you could not tell the difference between dreams and reality? What if the changes you experience in your dream state become real? This is when your world becomes a frightening place. In a dream state, you are defenseless so how can you get help when you're asleep?
Penelope Raven is living this nightmare as she falls from the top deck of a cruise ship feeling the wind pushing against her face before she hits the icy waters below. Pen knows her limbs are broken because they hang and drift with the oceans current.
The Dream Reapers have stolen her dream state and she cannot control it. Her friend tries to help but gets tangled and caught in the dream which freaks her out and Jessica avoids Pen like a dose of gastro.
Jake is kind and considerate until he enters the dream state and the reapers condemn him to an aggressive energy vacuum sucking the strength from everyone around him.
The illusions become more deadly as Pen Ravens ancestry is the prize target of the Dream Reapers who will erase her history and the long passage of ancestors if she succumbs to them. This will mean that no Ravens were born and none have died, they simply never existed. Her mother will not be born and her favorite Aunty Jex from Bocastle never recorded. This is dire as a Ravens passage must be passed down for the gift of supernatural powers to continue.
Penelope must fight to stay awake so she can get help. Her mind is swept between images of life and death. In her state of confusion she panics and almost makes a wrong choice.
Who can help her against the Dream Reapers?
