Some dreams are meant to stay hidden. Scarlett Hayes is the invisible girl—constantly bullied, always watching from the sidelines. But in her dreams, she's something else entirely. When the nightmares she creates start bleeding into reality, hurting her tormentors in ways she never thought possible, everything changes. Enter Lucien Salvatore: mysterious, dangerous, and definitely not human. He sees something in Scarlett that no one else does—a power that could shake the entire supernatural world. As she discovers her ability to manipulate dreams, Scarlett transforms from a victim to something far more dangerous. But power comes with a price, and the vampire world isn't ready to let her go. Between a blood pact that ties her to Lucien and a growing darkness inside her, Scarlett is about to discover that some dreams are better left unawakened. With the Vampire Council hunting her and a deadly enemy closing in, she'll have to choose between the life she knew and the power she's always secretly craved. Not everything that happens in your dreams stays in your dreams. Some nightmares are real. And some are just beginning.
