Ethan Roam has faced a lot of nightmarish challenges—finding out he’s a sandman, falling in love with the man who once hunted him, and thwarting attacks from The Order of Azoth, a secret occult organization set on using his bloodline to conquer the universe by controlling immortality. And the battle is far from over.
To defeat The Order and its leader, Phantom, Ethan must first find the original Sandman and then bring the fight to the Dream World. Saving the universe might be too tall an order for one dream creature, but with the help of his friends and some Celestial beings with questionable motives, Ethan just might be able to weave a trap of surreal proportions.
EXCERPT:
“Nightmare’s Gateway isn’t so much a place as a state of mind.” Mercury’s scythe appeared in his grasp. They’d learned he only produced the blade when things were about to get messy. “All that’s required of you is to suspend any disbelief you may have and cross the threshold. You’ll find his home quite…immersive.”
“Since you’re most familiar with him, why don’t you lead the way?” Marcus chimed in a dare. For once, Grady and Marcus were on the same page.
“As you death wish.” Mercury gave a cheeky nod. He strode with confidence into the swirling oblivion. The smoky tendrils consumed him, and he vanished from sight.
“Will we even be able to survive going in there?” Grady asked Kit.
“I think so,” Kit answered. “Depends on you, really. Just remember the truth. He’ll try to make you forget what’s real.”
Grady frowned. “Well, that’s unnervingly vague. Thank you, Kit.”
She gave them an encouraging smile and bounded into the darkness alone.
“Second guessing your resolve?” Marcus teased him.
“Not at all,” Grady defended. “Just trying to ascertain any helpful information before blindly jumping into what looks like a pit of cosmic despair. Yourself?”
“I’m a vampire, Hunter.” Marcus smirked. “Darkness is my home.”
He sauntered into Nightmare’s Gateway without a second thought.
Ethan took Grady by the hand. “We’ll go in together. I’ll do everything I can to make sure we come back out together too.”
Appreciating the solidarity, Grady squeezed his hand in return. They both allowed themselves to be engulfed by the Gateway.
