"Icarus plunges into a terrifying new world -- an endless green forest, where wolves appear out of nowhere and dreams seem as tangible as reality. To make matters worse, he can’t remember anything that came before the fall -- Hawk, the Dimension, even his own name. Meanwhile, Hawk awakens to find the Dimension changed: harmony is turning to chaos and summer is changing to winter. She realizes what she has to do: find Icarus and bring him back. But when Hawk falls into the ravine, she finds herself in a completely different world -- a world of ice and snow. Running from her thoughts that seem to manifest into reality, Hawk desperately searches for Icarus... but someone else finds her first. As Hawk and Icarus struggle to make sense of their dream-like realities, they begin to realize that there are multiple worlds beneath the ravine -- worlds limited only by their imaginations... and their fears. Will Hawk and Icarus find each other and make it out alive, or will their darkest fears destroy them first?" -- Amazon.com
