Chastity Blake discovered the hard way what she was: a modern-day Sandman. But things aren't looking up for Chastity. She is guarding a secret deep within her — her dark sand, or what Reverians call her Shadow. Shadow Casters are known for their dark dreams, the nightmares they create. If she's caught with dark sand, she may be subjected to harsh interrogation, even banished to the Oblivion with the other Shadow Casters... and that is SO not on her list. Will she be able to hide her darkness from the most powerful Somnium alive? How long can she outrace her destiny before true nature catches up with her? Shadow Casters is the follow-up of bestselling author Adrienne Woods' second series, Dream Casters.

Mr. Sandman, send me a dream, ta da da da.....Seventeen year old Chastity Blake knows the Sandman is just a silly children's story parents tell their children to get them to sleep. At least she thought it was, until the day a mysterious, light golden sand appeared in her hands during a high school prank that went horribly wrong. A sand that has the power to send anyone it touches into a deep, sound sleep. Fearing she had lost her mind, Chastity soon discovers the shocking truth of her heritage- she is a Dream Caster. Chastity was never supposed to be raised on the Domain, or what humans call Earth and she is forced to return to her true birth place, Revera – the world of Dreams. However, in Revera there is no balance between good, the Light Casters, and darkness, the Shadow Casters, and Chastity is caught square in the middle. She soon learns that there is no place for anyone containing both the light and the darkness within them, and the shocking truth that if anyone in Revera ever discovered her shadow self, Chastity would be thrown into the Oblivion – the world of Nightmares. Dreams are always more than they seem, and this time Chastity is going to discover just how different they can be.

Suffering in the world has increased exponentially over the last eighty years. People are more stressed, anxious, and depressed than ever. At the same time, diseases like diabetes, IBS, migraines, ADHD, and insomnia are plaguing the populace like never before. Parallel to these developments, cultural norms and traditions are being abandoned at unprecedented levels and replaced with more ‘enlightened’ alternatives. People are deserting religious institutions that preach red lines of morality, opting for atheism and new-age spiritualism where they are free to supply their own truths. The institution of marriage is teetering on the brink of collapse under the weight of a fifty percent divorce rate, with young people preferring open relationships free from the burdens of monogamy and long-term commitment. Even the concept of two distinct and opposite genders, male and female, has been deemed outdated. Schools and social institutions now encourage elementary-age children to select from eighty different genders. Dream Wars tells the story of how this decline in the human condition directly results from a sinister plot put in motion after World War Two that has been tampering with people’s subconscious minds. A group of friends in China challenge the inevitability of this decay and attempt to shine a light on the subterfuge. What they discovered is startling, and their plan to combat this silent enemy is nothing short of miraculous.

After decades of internecine warfare, the tribes of the Tiste Edur have at last united under the Warlock King of the Hiroth. There is peace--but it has been exacted at a terrible price: a pact made with a hidden power whose motives are at best suspect, at worst, deadly. To the south, the expansionist kingdom of Lether, eager to fulfill its long-prophesized renaissance as an Empire reborn, has enslved all its less-civilized neighbors with rapacious hunger. All, that is, save one--the Tiste Edur. And it must be only a matter of time before they too fall--either beneath the suffocating weight of gold, or by slaughter at the edge of a sword. Or so destiny has decreed. Yet as the two sides gather for a pivotal treaty neither truly wants, ancient forces are awakening. For the impending struggle between these two peoples is but a pale reflection of a far more profound, primal battle--a confrontation with the still-raw wound of an old betrayal and the craving for revenge at its seething heart. At the Publisher's request, this title is being sold without Digital Rights Management Software (DRM) applied.
