About the book: year / Since time immemorial, Brudyre, otherwise known to the world as the Sandman, has faithfully carried out his destiny, conscientiously fulfilled his duties. He had never questioned his lot among the immortals until now, until he met her. Sarah Serenity Tillman, a consummate beauty inside and out, is graduating from high school in five months. She has big plans, she dreams of leaving the small town where she spent her childhood forever. But fate has other plans, and it's the Sandman's job to make sure they come true. The tall, muscular Sandman, called Dire among his friends, dressed in black and shrouded in shadows, is more than a myth. And he has work to do. His very existence makes him a creature of the night, because dreams (yes, the legends don't lie in this part) are truly his specialty. But his task is much more than just weaving dreams for sleeping children. His dreams are designed to influence, to convince those special ones who must change the course of history to truly accept the destiny chosen for them. Serenity has no idea that she is Dair's next assignment. And the dream that he weaves for her, if the girl succumbs to his influence, will change the course of not only her life, but the entire course of history as a whole. But she is not the only one who is influenced. Her inner beauty unsettles the Sandman, illuminating the darkness that has been his constant companion. Her light was warmth, it was life itself, and he did not understand how he had survived the previous millennia without her. The Sandman is actually more significant than people could ever imagine, and his task is important to the course of history. So what happens when a dream maker becomes so distracted by a mere human that he ignores his responsibilities in the immortal realm? How can an immortal, who never intended to have a betrothed, unite with a young woman without irrevocably changing the lives of millions in her destiny and potentially changing the course of history in a way that the Creator never intended?
