The Nightmare's Hunt

By Mercer Leigh

The Nightmare Realm didn't choose Finn Reed. He chose it.

A year after his brother Callum vanished into the dark - claimed by something ancient and beautiful that lives behind the veil - Finn is done waiting for permission. On All Hallows Eve, armed with everything Rowan has learned about the Realm from the outside, he forces his way in.

The Nightmare Realm has never had an intruder. It has no protocol for someone who wasn't invited. What it does have is everything else: creatures of devastating beauty and brutal purpose, a geography designed to break dreamers, and a Nightmare Queen who has been building this place for longer than human memory reaches.

Finn is not a dreamer. He's a firefighter. He runs toward the burning thing.

While Finn fights his way through the Realm's interior - followed by something that knows how he moves, hunted by things that wear his brother's face - Rowan guides him from the waking world through a connection built across a year of costly, dangerous work. She can reach him. She can warn him. She cannot protect him from what the Realm has waiting at its center.

The Nightmare's Hunt is the brutal, relentless second book of The Nightmare Realm trilogy - a seductive, devastating adult horror series about love, loss, and the price of going somewhere you were never meant to go.

Perfect for readers of adult dark fantasy, supernatural horror, and emotionally devastating fiction with deeply human stakes. Contains dark themes and mature content.
