About this ebook
A dream is supposed to end when you wake up. For the people drawn into Celia and Nathan's fractured marriage, that comforting rule is about to become dangerously unreliable. Their move into an old Victorian house is meant to be a fresh start, but the resentment between them has already seeped into every room. Celia is desperate to hold on to the life she built. Nathan is increasingly distant. And beneath the ordinary strain of a failing relationship lies something stranger: a fascination with lucid dreaming, hidden doors in the mind, and the seductive idea that consciousness may be able to travel farther than anyone should allow. When Mara is pulled into their orbit, curiosity turns personal. She becomes fascinated by the techniques Celia describes and by Nathan himself, even as disturbing clues suggest that the couple's history is darker than either of them admits. Dreams begin to feel more vivid than waking life. Memories no longer seem trustworthy. Desire, fear, and identity blur together until Mara can no longer be certain whether she is observing someone else's nightmare or entering it. The deeper she goes, the more dangerous the questions become. What happened before Celia and Nathan arrived at the house? Why do certain people inspire such intense fear? And what waits beyond the mental threshold Celia calls the second door? As emotional betrayal collides with an impossible secret, the boundary between body and mind begins to break. Some doors can be opened from both sides, and once Mara crosses this one, waking up may no longer mean coming back as herself.
