In the ethereal world of dreams, there are champions who fight to protect the dreamer and there are demons who prey on them...

Arik is such a predator. Condemned by the gods to live eternity without emotions, Arik can only feel when he's in the dreams of others. For thousands of years, he's drifted through the human unconscious, searching for sensation. Now he's finally found a dreamer whose vivid mind can fill his emptiness.

Dr. Megeara Kafieri watched her father ruin himself and his reputation as he searched to prove Atlantis was real. Her deathbed promise to him to salvage his reputation has now brought her to Greece where she intends to prove once and for all that the fabled island is right where her father said it was. But frustration and bad luck dog her every step. Especially the day they find a stranger floating in the sea. His is a face she's seen many times.... in her dreams.

What she doesn't know is that Arik holds more than the ancient secrets that can help her find the mythical isle of Atlantis. He has made a pact with the god Hades: In exchange for two weeks as a mortal man, he must return to Olympus with a human soul. Megeara's soul.

With a secret society out to ruin her expedition, and mysterious accidents that keep threatening her life, Megeara refuses to quit. She knows she's getting closer to Atlantis and as she does, she stumbles onto the truth of what Arik really is.

For Arik his quest is no longer simple. No human can know of a Dream-Hunter's existence. His dream of being mortal has quickly turned into his own nightmare and the only way to save himself will be to sacrifice the very thing he wanted to be human for. The only question is, will he?

Born in the southern United States, Sherrilyn’s love of stories and mythology began early. Growing up surrounded by rich folklore, her imagination was nourished with tales of gods, demons, and the eternal struggle between good and evil. This childhood foundation inspired a career filled with narratives that are not only fantastical but also steeped in deep emotional journeys, tackling themes of redemption, love, and the often painful nature of the human heart.

What sets Kenyon apart in the world of paranormal fiction is her ability to make readers feel deeply connected to her characters. Her heroes and heroines, often facing extraordinary challenges, are also profoundly relatable, each one struggling with their own inner demons, fears, and desires. This emotional depth, paired with action-packed plots and steamy romance, has earned her a devoted fanbase that spans the globe.

Kenyon’s career skyrocketed with the success of her Dark-Hunter series, a collection that has grown to include dozens of books, graphic novels, and spin-offs. These stories explore a world where ancient gods walk among us, and the line between good and evil is constantly shifting. Her ability to seamlessly blend mythological references with contemporary settings has garnered widespread acclaim, establishing her as a leading voice in the paranormal romance genre.

Beyond her Dark-Hunter world, Kenyon has also explored other universes in her Chronicles of Nick and The League series, where she continues to develop intricate worlds and complex characters. But what makes her work truly stand out is the emotional resonance that underpins it all. Whether it’s the love between her protagonists or their journeys of personal growth, there’s a palpable heart to her writing that readers can’t help but connect with.

In addition to her literary success, Sherrilyn has received numerous accolades and recognitions, with several of her books hitting best-seller lists and achieving critical acclaim. Yet despite the fame, she remains grounded in her mission to tell stories that offer an escape while simultaneously touching on the struggles and triumphs of the human spirit.

Known for her strong, relatable characters and her refusal to shy away from the darker aspects of life and love, Sherrilyn Kenyon continues to build worlds that fans eagerly return to time and again. As she once said, “The best stories are the ones that speak to your heart,” and through her ever-expanding universe, she has certainly proven that her storytelling does just that.

Sherrilyn Kenyon also writes under the pseudonym of Kinley MacGregor.
