Synopsis: Death of Dream

Lydia Marks is better known as Dream, a nickname given to her by her rocker boyfriend. It's a name she keeps, even after he kills her. Full of hatred for the man who betrayed her love and trust, Dream looks for ways to kill her boyfriend, but when she finally confronts him, things change and she actually ventures to Hell to help him. While in Hell, she meets up with an old friend, who was also wronged by Dream's boyfriend, and a strange voice on the wind. For reasons of their own, they help Dream navigate through Hell and around it's many Lords to find the one demon who may change a murderer's final fate and the path of a poor dead woman.

Excerpt: Death of Dream

I rest my ghost fingers on the vertical part of the gate, not ready to go any further. What do I think I’m going to do? Confront Sketch? Scream at him for what he did? Do I plan on haunting him till the day he dies? Is that all I want from this whole deal, or do I want revenge? The word revenge bouncing around in my head has a nice taste to it. I want something to come of my circumstance. Though he’ll get jail time and maybe even the death penalty, I need something more personal. I see him in my thoughts. I chase him. I scare him. I make him run in front of a bus or fall down the stairs. Maybe I just want him crazy. I don’t know. For all I know, he can’t even see me. There is only one way to find out.
