Somnic
"Sleep is no longer peaceful—it’s a death sentence."
In a world where dreams have turned fatal, sleep is forbidden, cause every time someone closes their eyes, their mind transcends into the Somnic Plane. It’s a realm where wraiths roam and devour sleepers. Each sleeper becomes a wraith in another person’s nightmare, which endlessly feeds the cycle of death.
To survive, humanity built its salvation in vials: serums— drugs that keep them awake. But when the serums begin to fail—tightening the bloodstream, decaying cells, and triggering collapses—the fragile balance between reality and dream begins to crumble.
But in the midst the chaos stands Aiden Cross, a man untouched by the curse. He doesn’t sleep. He doesn’t dream. Yet, he can see the wraiths. And what he sees in them… isn’t human anymore. He is by theory, the only human who can’t turn into a wraith in another person’s nightmare.
As the world’s thin line between waking and dreaming begins to tear apart, one truth remains:
To sleep is to die. To dream is to awaken something far worse.
