The Dream Alchemist
Joanna Chambers
- Bryn
- Llewelyn
- spends
- his
- life
- strung
- out
- on
- too
- much
- caffeine,
- fighting
- sleep
- at
- every
- turn.
- He
- can
- barely
- hold
- down
- a
- part-time
- job
- as
- he
- lurches
- from
- day
- to
- day,
- perpetually
- exhausted.He
- is
- trying
- to
- avoid
- Somnus,
- the
- dream
- world
- where
- people
- like
- Bryn—dreamwalkers—roam
- during
- their
- sleeping
- hours.Bryn
- has
- been
- dreamwalking
- since
- he
- was
- child.
- He's
- never
- found
- navigating
- Somnus
- easy,
- but
- lately
- it's
- become
- much,
- much
- harder.
- Each
- time
- he
- manifests
- in
- Somnus,
- he
- is
- helplessly
- drawn
- to
- a
- sinister
- tower.
- Something
- evil
- is
- imprisoned
- there—something
- that
- wants
- out—and
- every
- time
- Bryn
- falls
- asleep,
- he
- finds
- it
- more
- difficult
- to
- resist
- its
- lure.
- Not
- to
- mention
- the
- compelling
- man
- who
- patrols
- its
- walls…Laszlo
- Grimm.As
- a
- teenager,
- Laszlo
- Grimm
- suffered
- from
- a
- sleep
- disorder
- so
- profound,
- his
- family
- had
- him
- locked
- up
- for
- treatment.
- Whilst
- the
- brutal
- "therapy"
- he
- underwent
- was
- successful,
- Laszlo
- paid
- a
- steep
- price
- for
- it—his
- ability
- to
- feel
- emotion.
- Now,
- for
- the
- first
- time
- in
- years,
- Laszlo's
- night
- terrors
- are
- returning,
- and
- with
- them,
- his
- fears
- about
- being
- locked
- up
- again.When
- Bryn
- and
- Laszlo
- meet
- in
- the
- real
- world,
- Bryn
- recognises
- Laszlo
- as
- the
- man
- he
- has
- already
- met
- in
- Somnus,
- but
- not
- only
- does
- Laszlo
- not
- know
- Bryn,
- he
- can't
- even
- remember
- any
- of
- his
- dreams.Bryn
- fights
- to
- open
- Laszlo's
- eyes
- to
- the
- truth
- but
- Laszlo
- cannot
- quite
- shake
- the
- conviction
- that
- his
- old
- condition
- is
- catching
- up
- with
- him...not
- least
- because
- Bryn
- Llewelyn
- is
- awakening
- emotions
- in
- him
- he
- hasn't
- felt
- in years.
