The first Dreamer in years. An adventure that should have been magical. Instead-monsters, mind trials, and a world slowly forgetting itself. Everdream was once a place where Dreamers could become heroes, discover strange lands, battle monsters, and embark on incredible adventures. But something has gone terribly wrong. The corruption is spreading. Dreamers are disappearing. Their memories are fading. And the waking world is beginning to forget they ever existed-as if they were never there at all. Until Skadi. When a curious young Dreamer finds herself pulled into Everdream, she expects an adventure. She gets one. Just not the kind she imagined. Armed with her enormous axe, StormSmash, and a habit of smashing things before asking questions, Skadi must navigate strange creatures, dangerous paths, mysterious allies, and trials that challenge more than her strength. Something in Everdream has been waiting for her. And the deeper Skadi travels, the more she begins to realize that her greatest battles won't always be fought with her axe. Some will be fought in her mind. As forgotten memories begin to surface, Skadi must decide who she can trust-and what she is willing to remember. Because in Everdream, forgetting isn't just sad. It's fatal. Enter a mysterious world of monsters, magic, heroes, hidden memories, and unforgettable adventure. Everdream: Volume 1 The Echo Within is the beginning of the EVERDREAM Series.
