Shadow of Death (SOD)

SLEEP.

A simple word.

A basic human need.

Something everyone looks forward to after a long, exhausting day.

But what if sleep became the one thing that could kill you?

Welcome to Vespers City.

A city where closing your eyes means entering a horrific NIGHTMARE.

Inside these Nightmares, people are forced to face terrifying trials where survival is the only way out.

Fail...

And you die.

But death doesn't end there.

Those who perish inside their Nightmares leave behind something far worse—a SHADOW, a corrupted existence capable of hunting the living.

Sixteen-year-old Asher Reid never expected anything unusual when his family moved to Vespers.

But strange people, sleepless residents, unexplained disappearances, and terrifying encounters quickly convince him that something is terribly wrong with the city.

Then the Nightmare Curse begins to close in.

Asher must uncover the truth behind Vespers before it consumes him and everyone he loves.

In a city where closing your eyes is a death sentence, how far will you go to stay awake?

Welcome to Vespers.

Where sleep is death.
