Snatched By the Sandman by Emily Shore
If you use TW’s as a shopping list and love “WTF did I just read?” books that will give you trauma until you need therapy…or an exorcism, this book is for you.
ZENYA
A skeletal king saving me from faceless beings in another dimension is not the wildest part of my day. I follow the walking bone daddy into his fortress where I learn he is Nyxion, the God of Nightmares, and he has big plans for me. Caught in his war with his brother, Morpheus, the God of Dreams, I must endure their Trials. I am a woman of scars, tattoos, and demons. But am I strong enough to unite these gods and survive my own darkness?
NYXION
I implanted my brother’s supernatural Eye in Zenya, turning her into my dream weaver and personal feast of fantasy. Through me, she will dream; through her, I will awaken. Her scarred soul belongs to me, and I will keep her on my throne of bones forever.
MORPHEUS
He stole my Eye. I will steal his voice. Once I take Nyxion’s hyoid bone and implant it in Zenya, I declare war upon him while stealing her away to my Realm of Dreams. She is my dream come true. I’ll battle all my brother’s nightmares to keep her.
