For university student Saoirse Donnelly, nightmares have always felt too real-a legacy she attributes to witnessing her mother's suicide a decade ago. Working nights at a quiet café while battling sleep paralysis and haunting visions has become her normal.
Until the night a stranger with piercing emerald eyes walks in just before closing.
Sweet dreams, Saoirse, he whispers, though she never told him her name.
When a mysterious key appears, Saoirse is drawn back to her family's abandoned estate and the secrets hidden within its walls. In the woods stands a forgotten mausoleum that has plagued her nightmares since childhood. Behind its inner door lies the truth-her mother wasn't mentally ill, but fighting an ancient curse that has claimed the women in her bloodline for centuries.
Now the enigmatic Dearil Byrne stalks Saoirse's waking hours and haunts her dreams, claiming she's transforming into something neither living nor dead. As the boundary between nightmare and reality dissolves, Saoirse discovers her sleep paralysis is actually her spirit crossing into the Otherworld-and the transformation has already begun.
With Samhain approaching and the veil between worlds growing dangerously thin, Saoirse must return to the stone circle where an ancient pact was sealed in blood. There, with the help of her closest friend and the ghost of her mother, she'll confront the family curse and the entity who's hunted her bloodline for generations.
But breaking ancient covenants requires sacrifice, and some debts can only be paid in blood.
