Lucas Schrader is nothing more than a soldier in the Nexus's army, and he's tired of being a killing machine, tired of expanding the empire, tired of losing his soul to war. At night he finds a dangerous respite?he dreams. He dreams not of conquest, but clear skies and sun-touched meadows. But he can't share his dreams with even his closest friends because dreaming is illegal, and this secret could get him killed. Because Lucas's dreams have a power he is unaware of?his dreams could change the past, present, and future. And the Nexus will do anything to stop him.
