ÒIt is like nothing else IÕve ever read. The characters are so real, youÕll feel like you know exactly what they look like and how their voices sound and what they would say or do in any given situation. More than that, youÕll want to hang out with them. Then the world is so amazing and unique. You will want to go there. You will want to walk into Ôthe Place.Õ And you will want to sleep in a dream opera.ÓÑStephenie Meyer, The Twilight Saga

On St. LazarusÕs Eve, when elite citizens gather in the dream palace, Laura is determined to show them the truth. She plunges them into the nightmare used to control the convicts. But as she struggles to counter the governmentÕs sinister plans, a deeper mystery surfaces, a puzzle only Laura can unravel, a puzzle having to do with the very nature of the Place.
