But not all fairytales are as they seem. Ophelia and a knight of both realms work together to uncover the reality of Ryhelm's Dreamweaver—and the dark truth behind what it means to dream a world into being. (EXPANDED DESCRIPTION *INCLUDES PLOT​​/​​CHARACTER SPOILERS*) Growing up beneath the spiteful gaze of her sister and the absence of her father, Ophelia Thorne always dreamt of a place where she could belong. She never expected to find it in the same pond that haunted her childhood. But when she falls through its waters, she awakens in Ryhelm—a dreamlike realm where the sun always shines, no tear has ever been shed, and the king of her dreams claims she’s their prophesied Dreamweaver: the one who will shape their world with her dreams. At first, Ophelia resists. She returns home, torn between heart and family. But her childhood cottage is on the brink of destruction, her sister wants her gone, and the only hope to save herself is to bring proof of Ryhelm’s existence. With no other choice, Ophelia returns to Ryhelm in the hopes of bringing back her salvation. However, soon showered in gifts, affection, and promises of eternal joy, she faces another choice: return with the proof she needs—or abandon her old life and dream in a world built just for her. But not all fairytales are as they seem. Entwined in her fate is Roman, a once-nameless knight who is the reason behind why Ophelia is drawn to the pond she fell through. Bound to the king’s will, Roman is slowly discovering who he is—and what he was made to do. As he unravels from the king’s web, he helps Ophelia uncover the cracks in Ryhelm’s paradise: the cost of a tearless world, the illusion of perfection, and the dark truth behind what it means to dream a world into being.
