He calls her his hallucination. She calls him her salvation.
Brooks wakes in an asylum with no memories, a broken wristwatch, and a relentless voice in his head that won’t shut up. He’s been called schizophrenic, dangerous, even divine, but none of it matters. Not when the only color left in his world is the sound of her voice.
Xia is a siren bound in glass, punished by gods and chained by her monstrous magic. She’s endured centuries of torment, but when she accidentally collides with a mysterious man in her dreams? It's the first warmth she's felt in lifetimes… and it's calling her home.
Then, the box opens. The one that should’ve stayed sealed.
And the horrors locked inside start clawing their way out.
The voices grow louder. The watch starts ticking. The lines between reality and nightmare blur, and Brooks begins to wonder if the woman in his mind is the key to everything, or the beginning of the end.
Saving her means believing she's real.
And if she is…
He’s the only one who can free her before the chaos unleashed devours them both.
One Little Nightmare is a dark romantasy debut dripping with psychological torment, otherworldly desire, and the seductive pull of myth and madness. If you’re ready to swoon for the man who thinks he’s insane and fall into madness with the siren he hears in his head
