In a world where dreaming has ceased to exist, dreams have become some of the most valuable commodities. They are rare, sought after, and they fetch a price higher than diamond or gold. Alec was born in the era of the pale generations, generations of individuals with white streaks on their skin, blank eyes staring off in the distance, and soul hollow from having lost the natural ability to dream. He was one of the rare individuals in this era who still retained the gift of dreaming, a gift he considered both a blessing and a curse. When he joined The League of the Dream Hunters, an elite organization formed to retrieve stolen dreams and return them to their owners, it was for only two reasons—to look for his missing brother and to find the dream that was stolen from their family so many years back, one that cost the life of both of his parents. In the league, he learned more about the pale generations and the Makus. He discovered that there was so much more to the gift that he had and so much more about the world he thought he knew. And as he grew nearer towards finding his brother and the lost dream, he had to face the guilt that had consumed him since his parents’ death, the immensity of the gift he had, and the responsibility that came with it.

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?

And is plunked into the middle of the Norman invasion of England. Cursed the moment he was born with a "demonic deformity," Valteri wants nothing of this earth except to depart it and will do his duty to his king until then. When a strange noblewoman is brought before him, Valteri realizes he has met her before...in his dreams. When others come for her, bringing with them preternatural predators, he is faced with a destiny he had no idea was waiting. One he wants no part of. The truth is that Valteri isn’t just a knight of William the Conqueror. He is the son of one of the deadliest powers in existence, and if he doesn’t restore Ariel to her place, she is not the only one who will be in peril. The world itself hangs in the balance, and he is the necessary key to hold back the powers of evil.

Diploma Thesis from the year 2010 in the subject American Studies - Literature, grade: 2,0, University of Vienna (Anglistik und Amerikanistik), language: English, abstract: Der Amerikanische Traum ist in Hunter S. Thompsons Texten ein ständig wiederkehrendes Motiv. Auf der Suche nach dem Traum, war es dem Gonzo-Journalisten nicht genug, die Lage der amerikanischen Nation gegen Ende der 60er Jahre bloß zu schildern, sondern sie zu erleben, um dann keine objektive Wahrheit, sondern seine subjektive Sicht der Dinge niederzuschreiben. Seine Beschreibungen der amerikanischen Nation und deren Traum in seinen Werken Angst und Schrecken in Las Vegas und Angst und Schrecken: Im Wahlkampf ′72 sind kaum positiv. Im Gegenteil. Er verweist sogar auf den Tod des Amerikanischen Traumes und den Verfall Amerikas. Der Traum erscheint ihm in vielerlei Gestalt: in Symbolen, wie zum Beispiel der von Geld und Einfluss regierten Stadt Las Vegas, die Thompsons Alter Ego Raoul Duke als Nervenzentrum des Traums identifiziert; Seine Protagonisten durchleuchten die traditionellen Werte der Gesellschaft und müssen feststellen, dass sie sich bei näherem Betrachten als Heuchelei erweisen - als Mythos, wie eben der Amerikanische Traum selbst. Der Reporter, der auf Grund seines einzigartigen Schreibstils oft als Stiefkind der New Journalists oder gesetzloser Journalist (Outlaw Journalist) bezeichnet wurde, wird von der Angst - der Angst vor dem Untergang alles Guten für das Amerika seiner Meinung nach einmal eingetreten ist - übermannt. In seinen von Halluzinogenen eingefärbten Charakterisierungen entlarvt er die Gesellschaft als korrupt, oberflächlich und gierig. Versteckt hinter dem nationalen Moralkodex und unter dem Vorwand den Amerikanischen Traum zu suchen, erlauben seine Mitmenschen sich dem Journalisten der Freiheit zu berauben, und somit seinen persönlichen Traum zu zerstören. Jedoch nimmt Thompson nicht die Rolle des Moralapostels ein, sondern beweist immer wieder seine Mitschuld an den erschreckenden Zuständen im Amerika der frühen 70er Jahre. Angesichts dessen erfassen den Reporter Angst und Schrecken, die ihn dazu bringen seinen Mitmenschen Streiche zu spielen, Lügen aufzutischen und der Realität mit einer Prise schwarzen Humors ins Auge zu sehen. Aus Frustration mit der Situation verwandelt er den Präsidenten, Polizisten, Politiker und sogar seine Kollegen im Journalismus in Raubtiere, die nach seinem Blut lechzen.
