📚 WHAT THE BOOK IS ABOUT

Masterton's fourth Night Warriors novel targets demons threatening newborns in dreams.

This volume advances the saga of the Night Warriors, an ancient order dedicated to shielding humanity from supernatural threats during sleep. The central conflict arises when two monstrous apparitions attempt to infiltrate the dreams of expectant mothers. Their goal involves sending demons to embed themselves into the minds of newborn babies. The warriors must investigate these entities to discover why children are the specific target. Masterton, praised by Grimdark Magazine for delivering a hell of a ride, constructs a narrative that emphasizes the vulnerability of infants and the desperate measures required to protect them. The story does not offer easy solutions but rather a tense exploration of motive and defense against a powerful, cruel force.
