The Dream Curse

And all my days are trances,

And all my nightly dreams

Are where thy grey eye glances,

And where thy footstep gleams—

In what ethereal dances,

By what eternal streams.

Edgar Allan Poe

Katy, now the named heir to Prince Robert and his bride, Aaliyah, stands at the ceremony for the awakening of the Ondine queen. Senka, desperate that her last plan seems to have failed, attacks the ceremony and curses Katy into a deep sleep, the Dream Curse Sleep. There is little hope. While Katy is navigating through the dream world, training, battling, coming of age, the secrets of the past, present, and future collide. Stuck for what seems like decades, Katy makes choices, discovers that good and bad about herself, as she travels through the layers of her mind and soul. Much like the journey Dante took through Hell, Katy is going to find the truths rather she wants to face them or not. In the real world, time is passing much more slowly, as Reilly, who is a Soul Seer, can dream walk. But he is just coming into his inheritance. He must train before going into the mind of his sister. Will Reilly make it in time to save his sister? Or will Katy come to the end of the battle and must make a choice that is years in the making? Fight herself or fight her mother?
