She thought the nightmare was over . . . but it's only just begun.

Perfect for fans of Adalyn Grace and Powerless, the captivating sequel to the Gothic-infused, New York Times-bestselling Dream by the Shadows is filled with revenge, romance, and redemption!

Esmer Havenfall thought freeing Erebus from his five-hundred-year imprisonment would end her nightmare. Instead, it has only just begun. Now bound by fate and darkness, Esmer and Erebus are no longer just dreamersβ€”they are Shadow Weavers, wielders of a power both divine and damning. And something is already clawing its way through the Dream Realm's cracks.

Raelion, the demon king lurking within Mithras, is poised to destroy the world. His corruptive curse spreads like a plague, twisting dreams into nightmares and turning humans into monsters. If Esmer and Erebus are to survive, they must achieve the impossible: forge an army from the broken and unravel ancient horrors before it's too late. But when Esmer and Erebus are abruptly cast from the Dream Realm into a kingdom teetering on the edge of ruin, they quickly learn that something monstrous has already slipped throughβ€”and their love might be the first thing it devours.
