In beds of luscious dreams and wretched nightmares lies a girl locked away …

Veiria wakes in a strange world with no memories. Fallen into this unfamiliar place, she’s granted some of her deepest held longings at the kindness of strangers. United with a charming boy named Eu, the two venture into this world Veiria is both enthralled by and fearful of as she’s revealed frightening visions of an ominous maroon star and the knowledge that she’s a goddess in this world.

Veiria’s temporary bliss is thrown into chaos as two people come into Veiria’s life—Meren and Telvin, claiming to be her dear friends and offering her salvation from her own destruction. Between their offer, the deity Noctine’s ominous threat of imprisonment, and the deadly shards of Neihdria that seem drawn to Veiria’s possession, Veiria ventures into starry seas with Eu, Meren, and Telvin by her side.

Through half-truthes, blissfully surreal dreams, and haunting nightmares, Veiria longs for something in these endless skies, whether or not she’s brave enough to claim it.

And as this world ticks to a close, some things that should have never been locked away long for freedom …
