Long ago, the astrophysicist Inigo began dreaming scenes from the life
of the remarkable Edeard, who lived within the Void, a self-contained
microuniverse at the heart of the galaxy. Inigo's inspirational dreams,
shared by hundreds of millions throughout the galaxy, gave birth to a
religion: Living Dream. But when the appearance of a Second Dreamer
seems to trigger the expansion of the Void--which is devouring
everything in its path--the Intersolar Commonwealth is thrown into
turmoil.
With time running out, the fate of humanity hinges on a handful of
people: Araminta, now awakening to the unwelcome fact that she is the
mysterious Second Dreamer; Inigo, whose private dreams hint at a darker
truth; and Justine, whose desperate gamble places her within the Void,
where the godlike Skylords hold the power to save the universe . . . or
destroy it.
