One dream can cross worlds. One choice can save a life.

Azak has nearly completed his apprenticeship with the village blacksmith. Then he can propose to his sweetheart and settle into the simple life that’s expected of him. His future is set.

Until the visions begin.

When his dreams pull him into the mind of a girl in another world—isolated, afraid, and on the edge—only Azak can show her she’s not alone. But saving her means embracing a future he never wanted, breaking every rule… and risking never finding his way home.

This prequel short story, set a generation before the Dreamwalker series, introduces a universe of shamanism and elemental magic, full of fierce friendship, hope, and queer joy.
