But I’d already traveled that road and knew it only led to dead ends. “No, Stardust. I can’t keep fighting who I truly am.”
Stardust gaped at me, as if I’d mutated into a different person. “But the Council took all your dream dust. How can you live in the Nightmare Realm without any magic?”
An idea slithered into my mind as I clutched my locket, a conniving and wonderful idea that would act as the first step in my revenge against the world that had rejected me.
“I’ll simply get more. Whenever I capture a dream, the magic used to create it becomes mine. I have an infinite supply of power.”
“But that’s stealing,” Stardust murmured. “And you’re not a thief.”
I no longer cared. My path in the Nightmare Realm unfolded before me, stepping stone by stepping stone, leaving no doubt that this was the journey I needed to take. I’d only begun discovering the potential of my amazing abilities, a magic nobody else possessed. I would soon be unstoppable.
An infinite number of dreams waiting to be explored and captured lay ahead.

Acknowledgments
I’m so incredibly grateful for all the wonderful people who’ve supported me throughout my writing adventures.
First, to my incredible mother, who’s worn many hats over the years: from teaching me to read as a toddler; to recognizing my love and talent for writing and supporting it through boundless encouragement and hours of driving me back and forth to classes to help nourish my budding skills; to now being my muse, brainstorm buddy, beta-reader, editor, and my biggest cheerleader and believer of my dreams. I truly wouldn’t be where I am without her and am so grateful for God’s tender mercy in giving me such a mother.
Second, to my family: my father, twin brother Cliff, and darling sister Stephanie. Your love, belief in me, and your eager willingness to read my rough drafts and help me develop my stories has been invaluable. Words cannot express how much your support has meant to me.
Third, to my publishing team: my incredible editor, Jana Miller, whose talent, insights, and edits have helped my stories blossom into their potential; and Karri Klawiter, who truly captured what I envisioned for this new world with such talent and beauty.
Fourth, to my wonderful beta readers: my dear Grandma, Susie Gerberding, Alesha Adamson, and Nicole Triptow. I’m so grateful for your wonderful insights and suggestions that gave my story the last bit of polish in order to make it the best it can be. In addition, I’d like to thank all my ARC readers, who were so willing to give my book a chance and share their impressions. Thank you.
Fifth, to my Grandparents, whose invaluable support over the years has helped my dreams become a reality.
Last but not least, I’d like to thank my beloved Heavenly Father, who has not only given me my dreams, talent, and the opportunities to achieve them, but who loves me unconditionally, always provides inspiration whenever I turn to Him for help, gives me strength to push through whatever obstacles I face, and has sanctified all my efforts to make them better than my own.
About the Author
Camille Peters was born and raised in Salt Lake City, Utah where she grew up surrounded by books. As a child, she spent every spare moment reading and writing her own stories on every scrap of paper she could find. Becoming an author was always more than a childhood dream; it was a certainty.
Her love of writing grew alongside her as she took local writing classes in her teens, spent a year studying Creative Writing at the English University of Northampton, and graduated from the University of Utah with a degree in English and History. She’s now blessed to be a full-time author.
When she’s not writing she’s thinking about writing, and when’s she’s not thinking about writing she’s…alright, she’s always thinking about writing, but she can also be found reading, at the piano, learning, playing board games with her family and friends, or taking long, bare-foot walks as she lives inside her imagination and brainstorms more tales.
