The sequel to NYT bestselling Curious Tides and the second book in this lush and intoxicating world of dark academia, lunar magic, secret societies and dangerous friendships.
After going through the door that called to them both in dreams, Emory and Romie find themselves in the Wychwood, albeit a twisted, rotting version that feels wrong. A sinister force has awoken with their arrival, intent on destruction, and now Emory and Romie must stop it before it reaches their own shores.
Meanwhile, Baz and Kai are desperate to follow their friends to other worlds, but a mishap pulls them back in time instead. Stuck together in the past, they must navigate a very different Aldryn College as they unravel the school’s darkest secrets.
Across time and worlds, Emory, Romie, Baz and Kai find their fates eerily interwoven with the heroes from Clover’s book. But when stories can’t be trusted, friendships are put to the
test, and deadly enemies are not always as they seem, they must decide who gets to be a hero – and who is desperate enough to see themselves become a villain.
Dive into the dreamscape. But remember: nightmares are never far away . . .
