Staff Writers Catherine Smyth-McMullen and Vanessa Benton
In 2015, Rose Walker and her brother Jed are separated when their parents divorce. Six years later, following the death of both parents, Rose attempts to locate Jed and claim legal guardianship, but Jed is instead placed in the foster home system.
At the same time Rose is flown to England, accompanied by her friend and neighbour Lyta Hall, to meet Unity Kincaid, a wealthy recovered victim of sleep sickness, who is interested in her ancestry. Unity reveals that she is Rose's biological great-grandmother, and offers to fund Rose's search for Jed.
Rose and Lyta travel to Florida to continue their search for Jed, where they are watched by Matthew the raven who reports his findings back to Lucienne. Unknown to Rose, she is also of huge interest to Morpheus, The Corinthian and Desire. She is a dream Vortex, a being who naturally attracts and manipulates dreams.
Desire conspires with her twin sister Despair to use Rose against Morpheus in another one of her plots against her sibling. Meanwhile the Corinthian is hunting Rose for his own ends as together, he believes, Rose and he can put Morpheus out of business for good.
But the Corinthian is also being hunted by three “Collectors” who want him to be the guest of honour for a “collectors” convention. Aware of Rose's nature, and following a census of the Dreaming by Lucienne, Morpheus plans to use her to track three errant residents of the Dreaming, Gault, The Corinthian and Fiddlers Green who are still at large.
However, while Morpheus and Lucienne are able to track Rose, they are unable to locate her brother Jed in either the Dreaming or the waking world. Lucienne and Morpheus deduce that the rogue dream Gault has severed Jed's consciousness from the Dreaming. As they discuss what should be done Rose approaches Lucienne and Morpheus in the Dreaming for assistance in finding her brother.
