Pre-war England. Real poisonings. A heroine who walks in dreams.
Constance Maxwell is no ordinary woman. Though burdened by a disability, she possesses a rare and extraordinary gift: the ability to dreamwalk, allowing her to traverse the dream realm, uncovering secrets and solving mysteries that defy explanation. But her abilities come at a cost – each journey into the unknown brings danger to her mind and her life.
Each book is a standalone mystery inspired by a real unsolved crime, and together they weave a larger tapestry of Connie’s life, gifts and challenges.
