Isolated and grappling with debilitating depression she copes by writing about the realm of Solera. Fearless heroes feisty shapeshifters and mighty dragons come alive on her pages.

Now she's with her most cherished characters: the friends she's always yearned for the family she's never known. There's even someone who might be Prince Charming (if Kyla could get her act together and manage some honest communication). She'd surrender to the halcyon fantasy except she knows a nightmarish ending awaits. Solera is at war and its defenders are losing against the insidious villain spawned in the depths of Kyla's mind. He feeds on the energy of dreams seeks the destruction of all who oppose him-and Kyla's become his number one target.</span></p><p><span style=color: rgba(24 24 24 1)>Kyla must trade her pen for a sword and fight to change her story's ending but this isn't a fantasy anymore. No happily-ever-after is guaranteed. And mental illness has robbed her of everything she needs to succeed: love fighting spirit hope. If Kyla can't overcome the darkness inside her she'll die with her darlings.</span></p><p><br></p><p><strong style=color: rgba(24 24 24 1)>CONTENT WARNINGS:</strong></p><p><strong style=color: rgba(24 24 24 1)>Depictions of mental illness including depression anxiety suicidal ideation and self-harm.</strong></p>
