Dreams are often dismissed as figments of the imagination, but for Charlie, they feel like whispers from another dimension. To her, Lake Valley had always been a sleepy town, a place where dreams were gentle and faith was strong. But her most recent dream is full of visions and a menacing presence lurking at the edge of her awareness. The dream blends with unsettling occurrences in her waking life: a rubber duck that brings doom, a universal houseplant holding secrets within its leaves, and a picture frame that acts like a portal to another dimension.
Then there's Tuna, a sassy cat who prefers to think of Charlie's lap is her rightful throne. And Duke, a loyal dog with eyes that hold ancient wisdom and a tail that wags with an unsettling awareness of forces beyond Charlie's understanding. As Lake Valley twists and contorts, Charlie must summon courage she never knew she possessed to journey beyond the veil. Along the way, she'll find that her faith and the fabric of reality itself might not be as safe and familiar as she once thought.
