With the elves of Aven'adiel safe behind him, Maravek, the Dreamwalker, looks forward. Together with his new companion, Vandelas, he journeys to the immense city of Versali-Virai, where word of a new nightmare has reached his ears. Citizens are suffering from horrible dreams, if they wake at all.
Maravek's quest is made more difficult by the investigation of a vigilante named Faradorn, who has his own idea of who is responsible for the ill occurrences in the city.
Old friends and new faces alike reach out to the Dreamwalker for aid, but what does Maravek do when he's faced with his own nightmare along the way?
