Dream Casters

Mr. Sandman, send me a dream, ta da da da ... Seventeen-year-old Chastity Blake knows the Sandman is just a silly children's story parents tell their children to get them to sleep. At least she thought it was, until the day a mysterious, light golden sand appeared in her hands during a high school prank that went horribly wrong. A sand that has the power to send anyone it touches into a deep, sound sleep. Fearing she had lost her mind, Chastity soon discovers the shocking truth of her heritage- she is a Dream Caster. Chastity was never supposed to be raised on the Domain, or what humans call Earth and she is forced to return to her true birthplace, Revera — the world of Dreams. However, in Revera, there is no balance between good, the Light Casters, and darkness, the Shadow Casters, and Chastity is caught square in the middle. She soon learns that there is no place for anyone containing both the light and the darkness within them, and the shocking truth that if anyone in Revera ever discovered her shadow self, Chastity would be thrown into the Oblivion — the world of Nightmares. Dreams are always more than they seem, and this time Chastity is going to discover just how different they can be.

Chastity Blake discovered the hard way what she was: a modern-day Sandman. But things aren't looking up for Chastity. She is guarding a secret deep within her - her dark sand, or what Reverians call her Shadow. Shadow Casters are known for their dark dreams, the nightmares they create. If she's caught with dark sand, she may be subjected to harsh interrogation, even banished to the Oblivion with the other Shadow Casters... and that is SO not on her list. Will she be able to hide her darkness from the most powerful Somnium alive? How long can she outrace her destiny before true nature catches up with her?

Chastity Blake, or just Chas as her friends call her, is in the Nether with Ash, the remaining shadow hounds and her grandfather, Lord Cradone. The Death of her mother, Veronique, a Shadow Caster, weigh heavy on Chas, and her relationship with Leigh is a dangling situation. She doesn't remember much of the night her mother died, but she knew there is a betrayal, she doesn't know who is behind it, and she might or might not have the entity of Magdalena hidden deep inside her.
