________________________________

No one told me that damnation could be beautiful.

For the last 500 years, the Kingdom of Noctis has been plagued by Corruption, a curse that spreads through dreams. Only an elixir, taken each night before sleep, can ward off the curse. But for some, the allure of the Dream Realm proves too strong.

Esmer Havenfall desperately wants to escape her curse-struck village. But as her family starts to succumb to Corruption, Esmer's life swiftly unravels into a nightmare - especially when she begins to dream herself.

In Esmer's dreams, she meets her greatest fear: the Shadow Bringer, who rules from his castle in the Dream Realm, stealing souls one dreamer at a time. As Esmer follows the Shadow Bringer deeper into his kingdom she starts to feel a strange kinship to his sinister magic. But the prince of darkness has a haunted past, one that might change the fate of Esmer's kingdom - and her heart - forever.

Lush and vividly imagined, Logan Karlie creates an immersive nightmare in this seductive gothic fantasy, infused with shadow-haunted romance and an exhilarating thread of horror.

Critics Review

Logan Karlie's debut is a haunting, delicious dream. The prose is decadent, the premise unique, and the chemistry between our main characters? Wickedly compelling
Kate Golden, USA Today bestselling author
Dream by the Shadows pulls you into a world of light and shadow, hope and danger, promise and betrayal, with a tantalizing romance that will keep you turning pages well into the night! This tale weaves the ephemeral feel of dreams with the surprises of nightmares creating a richly-imagined chiaroscuro tapestry
Elly Blake, New York Times bestselling author
Seductive and alluring, Logan Karlie has crafted a story that will capture you in a snare of shadows and draw you into a mesmerizing dreamworld where nothing-not even the villain-is what it seems
Lyndall Clipstone
A hauntingly beautiful tale of redemption that reads like a dream. Karlie's breathtaking descriptions and masterful world-building are a feast for the imagination. Dream by the Shadows strikes a perfect balance between swoon-worthy romance and gothic fantasy, blending all things grim and eerie with lush dreamscapes reminiscent of the beloved fairytales of time's past. I couldn't put down this immersive story of resilience, hope, and the power of dreams, and I can't wait to see what dreams Karlie will weave next
