Sleepwalker

Some of us dream when we sleep. Some of us walk in between the realms of the subconscious and reality. 

It’s tough being a sixteen-year-old girl who hides in the shadows of others. It’s even tougher when you’re trying to balance living in two worlds—reality and the dreamworld.

When Eleanor falls asleep, she begins to remember her dreams in vivid detail. At first, it starts trivial; she befriends a beautiful magician named Hal who shows her the enthralling magic of the dreamworld, taking her to places she could only, well, dream of.

Soon, she begins to live in and out of her dreams, trying to keep her dual life from her friends and grandfather. But keeping the secret hidden from those around her becomes increasingly more difficult as she starts to lose consciousness during school, slipping into the dreamworld and waking with memory of haunting visions while surrounded by giggling peers.

While her social reputation feels like it’s hit rock-bottom, Eleanor somehow manages to catch the eye of the popular but mysterious Leigh Forrest, the school’s golden bad-boy. As Eleanor dives deeper into the fantastical dreamworld, the rose-coloured filter wears off and a sense of real danger creeps in, one that threatens her own existence and that of all who call the dreamworld home.

Pulled into a whirlwind of events that shake the two realms, Eleanor is forced to look inside herself and question everything she knows about her reality and those around her.

The Cydarions

A group of dedicated warriors, called the Cydarions, fight for you and your way of life. Using their faith and the Calling to guide their way through a series of adventures to face off with the ultimate evil.

Lucifer’s offspring wreak havoc on interplanetary worlds causing chaos and mayhem. Their unsuspecting citizens fall prey to evil ways, bringing the downfall of society as they know it.

Our heroes step through a portal, from the safety of their hidden citadel on El’ Azar, into unknown places filled with mystery and danger. As they traverse these lands, they learn more about each other and their new surroundings, relying on their training and wits to stay alive.

Will they all survive?

This new breed of devil is getting smarter and the Cydarions are out manoeuvred, with disastrous consequences.

The whole dynamic of the group is affected and they need to adapt.

The mere survival of our worlds depends upon these unknown fighters for justice and peace.

They don’t ask for recognition or payment; they simply ask for faith.
