Evie grows restless observing mortals from afar. When a friend offers to smuggle her by portal into the human world, she jumps at the opportunity. Secretly, though, she also hopes to observe Adan, the human Dreamer. Only a glimpse, she promises herself.
Adan curses the visions that plague his sleep. All he wants is to be normal: hang out with friends, care for his little brother, and, most of all, not wake from a nightmare in the middle of history class. Adan's Guardian says his dreams reveal the future, but Adan refuses to believe he'll die at the end of a golden blade.
Adan's life takes a curious turn when Evie, a beautiful stranger, sits next to him in the park. She doesn't seem to want to talk to him, yet eventually, she does.
But trouble awaits after Evie's captivating adventure and delayed return. Not only did she take an unsanctioned trip to the ground, but now the boy, the Dreamer, is missing. Worse still, her director believes she is to blame.
Evidence soon places Adan in another sector where Gifted humans are forbidden.
Donning a human body and wielding a golden blade, Evie's orders are to travel to this uncharted territory, find Adan, and take care of the problem.
As she searches, she wrestles with unfamiliar human emotions and a sneaking suspicion that the Dreamer was smuggled here for a reason. And perhaps the culprit-the Deceiver-is a threat to them all.
