His search for the driver who disappeared has cost Zach nearly everything — including his future. Then his estranged father returns carrying a stolen Lakota dreamcatcher known as Eden's Claw.
The moment Zach touches it, his life changes forever. Every time he falls asleep, his dream body awakens in the real world — stronger, faster, and whole again.
