Everything changes the moment he steps into the office of psychologist Dr. Evelyn Carter. For the first time in weeks, the unbearable weight disappears, the silence returns, and Julian falls into a deep, dreamless sleep. But the relief lasts only as long as he remains near her. Beyond an invisible boundary, the nightmare comes back stronger than before.
As his dependence grows and reality fractures, Julian must uncover the terrifying force that has chosen him before endless wakefulness consumes his body, his memories, and his soul. Some nights never end—and some nightmares refuse to let their victims wake.
