Opis

Discover #1 bestselling novel, Evan Burl and the Falling A monster lives in all of us. "My father abandoned me when I was an infant. My friends have turned against me. My uncle hates me. The most powerful sapients in the world want me dead. They all have one thing in common. They think I'm turning into a monster. I'm starting to worry they're right." Over a thousand years, one man unlocks sapience-the ability to transform the imagined into reality. But not everyone believes sapience is a gift because this power blurs the lines between dreaming and waking, making it impossible to divide real life from nightmare and friend from enemy. The most powerful of these sapients rule the world, sharing little in common save their venom for each other and lurid horror for Evan Burl-a sixteen-year-old imprisoned with twelve immortal orphans in a haunted castle surrounded by the bones of a forgotten city. Evan finds a letter that orders his execution-signed by his own father-that reveals Evan's latent supernatural talents. As Evan makes use of his new abilities, he loses his grasp on the physical world and fears he might be responsible for the string of gruesome deaths that have begun to plague the orphans. With each passing day, Evan's waking world is fading into a mist of dreams, replaced by starless nightmares that just might be real. The fates of those who remain alive rest on whether Evan can regain his ability to tell dream from reality and save his friends from the sapients who would rather the world forget that these twelve orphans ever lived.
