Eden has a secret: she has the ability to see and enter others’ dreams, a most inconvenient power when one is an outcast living in a magic-phobic village and yearning to fit in. When she accidentally exposes her powers, Eden discovers that her uncanny abilities connect her to the Dream World, home to the magical beings responsible for creating dreams, and the first place Eden has felt she truly belongs. Standing in her way is the formidable Dream Council, which questions whether she should remain in their world. Unless Eden can prove she’s truly a Dreamer, she’ll lose all her magical powers and be forced to return to Earth. Proving herself turns out to be more difficult than she anticipated. When Eden is assigned to create dreams for a newborn mortal, her opponent—the talented Nightmare Darius—makes it his personal mission to uncover her secrets, which could result in her permanent banishment. Eden struggles not only to outwit her foe, but also to prevent herself from falling in love with him, all while finding herself entangled in mysterious events as the Nightmare Realm begins to eclipse the Dream Realm, threatening not just her chances of remaining in her new home, but the balance of the universe itself. As Eden fights to fit into this world of dreams and magic, she finds herself on a journey of self-discovery that will take her down a path that forces her to confront an unknown darkness within herself, leading her to realize she’s not who she initially believed, nor does she belong where she thinks she does.

Eden's entire world has become a living nightmare. Banished from the Dream World for a crime she didn’t commit, Eden is torn from all she's come to love and forced to live in a world of darkness. The longer she remains, the more her true self slips away, made worse because her suspicions have alienated her from the man she fears betrayed her, but whom she most longs to trust. As Eden ventures into a bleak and twisted journey exploring the darker side of her powers, she must find a way to maintain her strength and her identity, for the thing she fears most is not the nightmare she's currently living, but herself—and the nightmare she could become. But finding her way back to who she truly is will require a leap of faith, trusting the one person she still loves but is determined to push away.

After the events of Nightmare, Eden and Darius are finally together, even if their forbidden relationship must remain a secret. Their separation becomes even more difficult to navigate as the darkness taking over the Dream Realm gradually increases, stealing the light and trapping Mortals in their dreams. Soon a different type of magic begins to threaten their paired union, one that is not only robbing them of their powers but which could separate them if they don't find a way to stop it. Despite their diminishing powers, Eden and Darius are determined to discover the source of the darkness and find a way to stop it from completely destroying the balance of the Dream and Nightmare World forever.
