Hoping her therapist and cult leader will help her untangle it, she heads off into the cold November morning to her final appointment with him—or so she hopes. Her estranged fiancé has delivered an ultimatum: Leave the cult of Dreamers, or end their relationship for good.Instead of help, however, Celeste discovers her therapist dying in a pool of blood, skull stove in by his own healing crystal.

To clear her name, Celeste enlists the help of her old friend, Gloria. But when the two women discover the power of the stolen dreams, they unwittingly become the killer’s next target.Show book

Engaged to Maria, a plain looking girl but with proper manners, Daniel begins stepping out on the sly with a pretty young woman from France called Harriet (really Henriette, but a name too difficult for the villagers to remember). Maria decides to have it out with him, so she follows him one night. She catches him coming out of the barn of a neighbour, who also happens to be narrator of the story, with a sack of grain in hand. Maria lets loose as only a woman scorned might. The next day Daniel goes missing, and Maria, now repentant for her promise to turn him in to the authorities, sees him walking in the wooded area near the barn, but he doesn't see her. It transpires she saw him well after he hanged himself in those same woods.Show book
