Shadows & Dreams

A mythic fantasy series of faerie, dreams, and hidden wars

Shadows & Dreams is a fantasy series that explores the unseen forces shaping human dreams — and the ancient beings willing to wage war to control them.

Set between the human world and the hidden realms beyond it, the series blends faerie lore, dream mythology, and epic conflict into a story that unfolds across multiple worlds.

About the Series

Dreams are not random.

They are a battleground.

In Shadows & Dreams, humanity lives unaware that its dreams are contested territory. Faeries, Shadow People, and other ancient powers struggle for influence over the subconscious minds of mankind — because whoever controls dreams shapes reality itself.

At the center of the conflict is a young woman who discovers that she does not fully belong to the human world… or the faerie one.

The Story So Far

The Dream Crystal

When Erin O’Neil is expelled from fashion school and begins experiencing terrifying visions of Shadow People and Faerie Lights, she fears she is losing her mind.

She isn’t.

Drawn into Tír na nÓg, the Land of Dreams, Erin learns the truth: she is a faerie changeling named Aisling. As war erupts between the Faeries and the Shadow People — led by the Hat Man, Lord of Shadows — Aisling must choose whether to risk everything to save both her sister and the dream-world itself.

The Dream Crystal is the first novel in the Shadows & Dreams series.
