From Dream to Dream

In Dreams Begin Adventure!

We’ve all had the dream. A looming presence. Menace. The struggle to wake. But when a modern day woman finds she can’t return to reality so easily, then it’s time for the nightmare to be faced. For all true things can be found in dreams. And now Drew must find the courage and resolve to fight for her life -- and to rescue the mysterious other who is trapped there with her. The other who may be her soul’s mortal enemy -- or its one true love.

A lyrical debut fantasy novel from a talented new teller-of-tales!

Journeys, Battles, and Legends!

“Do you ever find yourself trapped in a nightmare that you know, even as you dream, is a nightmare?”
-- from From Dream to Dream, by gifted new Baen author, Arlene Golds.
