A dark retelling of Sleeping Beauty, where love is found not in a kiss, but in the reclamation of a broken world—and a soul.

Lixiss once believed in Dreamland’s power to heal, but after a catastrophic failure, she’s lost all faith. Now, Dreamland is crumbling, poisoned by nightmares born from the heart of the Wasteland. To save it, she must confront the toxic dreams festering in the ruins, reclaiming fragments of hope along the way.

As she journeys deeper into the Wasteland, Lixiss uncovers a woman whose soul is eerily similar to her own—a kindred spirit trapped within the nightmare. Their connection sparks something new in Lixiss, rekindling her love for Dreamland and the belief that it can be saved. Together, they must fight to restore what was lost before the Wasteland consumes everything.

For fans of dark fantasy and emotionally-driven retellings, Wasteland of Dreams is a story of redemption, soul-deep connection, and the enduring strength of dreams.
