Book Description by Author:

The journey through Olympia continues.

Morpheus, the God of Dreams, leads The Order, descendants of Olympians, to the brink of darkness with one goal, close the Ivory Gate.

Failure in their task would see Icelos, the God of Fear, unleash terror upon the world.

In need of respite, Pasithea the Goddess of Rest, welcomes them with everything they could dream of. But some things are too good to be true, and not everything that’s true is what you dream of.

All the wonders and secrets of Olympia are waiting to be discovered, but what secrets will they uncover about themselves?

They will face something darker than any monster of myth or imagination. Each other.

For Mara Nightingale, a student at Ashwood University, having two guys compete for her affection would be a dream, but Mara’s dreams take her to a place of Nightmares that she can’t control.

With people in Ashwood still going missing, Mara continues to unravel the mystery, but someone else is also on the case, someone who knows her past.

To uncover the truth, she must follow her heart to find the man of her dreams and she knows just where to start.

Join The Order and don’t be afraid to dream.
