Clara has always been invisible. Her life is quiet, orderly, empty. No one looks at her. No one remembers her.
Until one night, on the edge of sleep, he appears.
Lucas arrives like a promise. He looks at her as if she truly exists. He loves her as if she matters. And Clara surrenders herself to that love without reservation, willing to do anything to remain seen.
But love has a price that is not always visible.
To be with him, Clara begins to sleep more. Every night, a little closer to sleep. Every night, a little farther from reality. And while her body slowly withers in the real world, in the dream she blossoms. He doesn't know. He can't know. Because he lives in the dream, where time does not pass and love carries no weight.
The Price of Dreaming is a dark and tragic romance novel. A story about the sacrifices no one sees, about love that consumes, and about the question we have all asked ourselves at some point: How far would you go just to be seen?
