Hijacking Hell’s Dreams

This supernatural, thought-provoking narrative bends genres, combining fantasy romance, philosophical fiction, and psychological thriller themes. Nightmares fuel the fiery pits of Hell, and Vincenza Ferrari is a DreamHijacker. Capable of manipulating a mortal’s mind while they sleep, she wields her demonic powers to harness sin and horror in order to keep the underworld flourishing. But when her brother-in-law gets kidnapped, Vincenza finds her own reality has become a living nightmare. Forced to flee the underworld, she travels to Italy where she encounters Fausto Montaño—a criminal with a second chance at redemption. Should he succeed in finding the SandMan, Fausto will be given a reduced prison sentence. Drawn together by a fateful purpose—and an undeniable attraction—the two embark on a dangerous journey through the esoteric SleepRealm. As they navigate dreamscapes such as crypts, ethereal gardens, and abandoned train stations, their minds and identities begin to fray, unraveled by ultimate realities, and the sinister plot they uncover raises questions about free will, consciousness, and morality, bringing them to the harrowing decision: is saving the world worth their relationship and sanity?
