Vivian has one last chance to save the worlds, if she's willing to pay the price... There's no rest for the weary. With the Black Gates irrevocably sealed, Vivian and Zee search for another way into The Forever in a desperate attempt to stop Aidan from her plan of ultimate destruction. But the dreamworlds are dying, the Between is growing increasingly unstable, and it's clear they're going to need some help.In Wakeworld, doctors and world leaders are scrambling to determine the source of a mysterious illness that is killing healthy people in their sleep. Weston Jennings knows the truth: dreamworlds are dying and taking dreamers with them. When fate unites him with an orphaned child who has latent dreamshifting ability, he takes her through into the Between in the hope that Vivian can save her - and all of Wakeworld -- from what the child calls the Nothing. Vivian and Zee have entered the world of the treacherous Sorcieri, who alone hold the secret of an alternate path into the Forever. But even if the Sorcieri can be persuaded to share the secret knowledge, or trusted to uphold their end of a bargain, saving the worlds can come only at the cost of unimaginable sacrifice.

A dragon is running amok in the town of Krebston, and only one woman can stop it... If Dr. Vivian Maylor could have just one wish, it would be a normal life. Instead, her dreams - and not necessarily the good ones - are spilling over into her waking hours.A badly burned teenager spontaneously combusts in the emergency room after raving about a dragon. Her mentally unstable mother vanishes without a trace. A strange woman with supernatural powers breaks into Vivian's apartment looking for the Key to the Forever.And when a bookstore-owning artist named Zee, who Vivian knows from her dreams as a sword-wielding warrior, delivers a message from her deceased grandfather, Vivian finally acknowledges the truth: she is the last living Dreamshifter, responsible for guarding the doors between dreaming and waking.Aided by Zee and an improbable dream penguin, Vivian ventures into the Between - a treacherous maze that lies between dreaming and waking - on a quest that will bring her face-to-face not only with her worst nightmares, but also the darkest parts of her self.

The quest is clear: find and destroy the Key to the Forever. Vivian and Zee have a plan - coerce Vivian's former lover into revealing what his dream self did with the Key, and then keep it safe until they can figure out how to destroy it.But the Dragon Queen, Aidan, also wants the Key, and she's had a thousand years to hone her power and perfect a devious scheme to destroy the dreamworlds. All she needs is the Key, and the moment Vivian finds it Aidan launches a vicious attack that leaves Zee wounded in the Between and Vivian locked into Wakeworld unable to reach him.With Aidan's power barring all doors to the dreamworlds and the Between against her, Vivian joins forces with a rogue Dreamshifter, hoping that together they will be strong enough to counter Aidan. But Vivian's inner dragon is struggling to break free and she will need to confront her own darkest desires and powers before she and Zee can even hope to save the worlds - if they don't destroy each other first.

Veteran paranormal investigator Maureen Keslyn never asked for life to be easy-for her, nothing is more invigorating than hunting down and ending a dangerous paranormal adversary. Fortunately, life at Shadow Valley Manor tends to be a little more...interesting...than the experience at your average retirement community.Right now, though, even she has to admit that things are getting out of hand. The bizarre murder of one of her elderly residents is only the beginning. How is she supposed to focus on tracking down the killer when there''s a spider loving middle-schooler underfoot? Worse, she''s acquired an unwelcome roommate-an elderly woman with dementia and a penchant for walking through walls.Maureen is ever resourceful, but the death count keeps rising despite her best efforts and the help of her team. With the life of a child hanging in the balance, Maureen is forced to take extraordinary measures-but will they be enough?

The case is complicated by the ghost of Maureen's former partner who refuses to cross to the other side, and his much-too-alive daughter Jillian who shows up to claim her father's ashes--and take charge of the Manor.With the life of one of their own in deadly peril, Maureen and the team enlist unlikely allies as they race to unravel a mystery that threatens not only the residents of the Manor, but all of Shadow Valley.
