Broken Dreams

Mara Lantern pursues her nemesis�and her friends�into a strange world of dreams where thought creates reality and steam drives exotic technology. Being in alternate reality of synthetic people who store their biological bodies in stasis tubes is weird enough. Now Mara learns the slumbering occupants of the receptacles have created a dream world where they experience life apart from their artificial selves. Unfortunately, Mara just put her best friend�who is possessed by a metaphysical demon�into one of the stasis receptacles, releasing evil into the minds of thousands of people, turning peaceful dreams into life-threatening nightmares. To save two worlds�one physical, the other ethereal�Mara must embrace a new concept of metaphysics, one that is steam-powered.
