Once Within a Dream

Samar Habeen is a warrior waging two wars—one against the Nightmares that prowl the forsaken streets of Oganja, and another within the silent chambers of her own heart. Grief clings to her like a second skin as she fights to stay afloat in a city that doesn't care about her. The loss of her mother and homeland have hollowed her, leaving her yearning for the warmth of family—though what remains of hers feels fractured, distant, almost spectral. Instead, she finds a strange solace in a building housing a tomb, a monument reflecting all she's lost. And when she stops visiting, her absence awakens the sleeping soul, who sets out to find her.
