When Liz Drake's best friend vanishes, nothing can stop her nightmares.
Driven by the certainty he needs her help, she crosses a continent to
search for him. She finds Blake comatose in a Vancouver hospital, victim
of a mysterious accident that claimed his lover's life - in her dreams
he drowns. Blake's new circle of artists and mystics draws her in, but
all of them are lying or keeping dangerous secrets. Soon nightmare
creatures stalk the waking city, and Liz can't fight a dream from the
daylight world: to rescue Blake she must brave the darkest depths of the
Dreamlands. Even the attempt could kill her, or leave her mind trapped
or broken. And if she succeeds, she must face the monstrous Yellow King,
whose slave Blake is on the verge of becoming forever.
