The Prince Who Lived in Her Dreams

For two years, Eleanor Fairchild has lived between sleep and death. After surviving a mysterious cardiac arrest, she is haunted by dreams so vivid they feel more real than waking life. In those dreams, she encounters Tristan Everhart, an enigmatic prince from a dying realm hidden beyond the boundaries of consciousness. He knows her name. He knows her memories. And somehow, he knows the parts of her life she has forgotten.At first, Eleanor believes Tristan is only a manifestation of neurological damage-a beautiful hallucination created by a damaged brain struggling to make sense of trauma. But the dreams begin changing the physical world. Objects burn without fire. Strange marks appear where no one has touched them. Her memories return in fragments, revealing that Tristan may not have entered her dreams by accident.When Eleanor finally crosses the threshold into his world, she discovers the Obsidian Citadel: a magnificent kingdom suspended beneath a dying black sun, where shattered crystal towers overlook an abyss that is slowly consuming reality. Tristan is not merely a prince waiting for rescue. He is the last surviving heir of a civilization whose existence has become tied to Eleanor’s consciousness.Every time she wakes, his world dies a little more. Every time she dreams, something from his world follows her home.As scientists struggle to explain Eleanor’s impossible condition, soldiers in the dream realm prepare for war, and an ancient force begins tearing apart the boundary between sleeping and waking. Eleanor must uncover why she and Tristan are connected-and whether their bond was created by fate, science, or something far older.But the closer she gets to the truth, the more terrifying the choice becomes. To save Tristan, Eleanor may have to surrender the waking world. To remain herself, she may have to let an entire kingdom disappear.And the greatest danger is no longer being trapped inside a dream.It is discovering that the dream may have been the only place where she was ever truly alive.
