Description

In the ancient city-state of Gujaareh, peace is enforced by Gatherers—servants of the dream-goddess who enter sleeping minds to heal, comfort, and deliver sanctioned death. Ehiru, the city’s most revered Gatherer, is drawn into a dangerous conspiracy when dreamers begin dying through forbidden means and the temple’s authority is called into question. Forced to protect a woman marked for death, he must navigate treacherous politics, divine power, and the shadowed realm of dreams before violence consumes the city. Richly imagined and morally complex, this atmospheric fantasy explores faith, power, mercy, and the perilous boundary between healing and control.
