Playing with Fire

An ancient entity writhes in eternal torment, its desperate cries echoing through the veil of dreams. For Lotte, a sharp-witted newcomer from Germany plagued by sleepless nights and shadowy visions, those screams are all too real—and they're pulling her toward a fate she never imagined.

At Southby High School, Eric crosses paths with Lotte, his reluctant German tutor, and is captivated by her enigmatic beauty and fierce intelligence. But beneath her crabby exterior and haunting dark circles lies a terrifying secret that threatens to unravel her sanity.

As their unlikely bond deepens into something electric and unbreakable, they must unravel the mystery of her nightmares—plunging into a world of mythological creatures, forbidden magic, and heart-pounding danger—before the darkness consumes her forever.
