The Sundered Crown

In a world shattered by a god's grief, reality is a bleeding wound. Jessica Roberts, a weaver of nightmares, protects a small flock of refugees in the ruins of civilization. Her life is defined by two impossible goals: rescuing her sister from the clutches of the sorrowful god who broke the world, and waking the man she loves from a psychic coma. But his mind is not sleeping-it's a prison, its walls slowly closing in.

When a traitor from the fanatical Purifying Flame army collapses on her doorstep, Jessica learns of a new, more absolute threat. A messiah of logic plans to "cure" the world's dream-bleeds by erasing the dreamscape itself-an act of quiet genocide that would annihilate millions of minds, including those of the two people she is fighting to save.

Caught between two apocalypses-a reality twisted by endless sorrow or one scoured into absolute nothingness-Jessica must embrace her dark powers. To have any chance of victory, she must unite the broken remnants of an ancient magical order and trust her mortal enemy to lead a suicide mission. To save the world, she must first journey into the heart of a god's personal hell, for the path to salvation is woven from the threads of nightmare.
