What if dreams are real? You dream you are someone else, but in truth, you are living one of your other lives when you dream. Then in that case, which one is the real you?
Jasmine is an ordinary teenage girl. Not very religious, not very academically inclined. In fact, her only talent seems to be an overactive imagination and the arts. Yet, is it really her imagination gone wild or are her dreams seem a little too vivid and coincidental?
Dreams of a celestial war between angels and demons that seem to be around the time before Lucifer's fall from heaven are just some of the things she experiences. There are also the dreams of dragons, magic and unknown worlds, but when tragedy strikes and she finds herself in the form of Japanese shrine maiden who has been dreaming of her life and shares some of the same dreams that she has had.... wait a minute, what is going on here?
—- Shameless Author Review—- ThIs story employs a rich vocabulary and complex sentence structure throughout that can be commonly seen in college level writing. Reading up to the ppint of this review, around chapter 30, which had been released within two weeks of this novel’s debute, we can see this... Three seemingly unrelated stories that take place in different worlds and time periods. Starting with aN American girl in the modern age, whom dreams of a second world of angels. This world of angels is something that has merely been hinted to in her own time through ancient scrolls and an old play. Yet, she experiences it in her dreams and unknowingly, she is drawn in to the point of emotional investment. When tragedy strikes in the dream world, the girl encounters her own accident in the modern world. Before you know it, you are yanked ubruptly into feudal Japan to meet yet another girl who has been dreaming of the modern world and witnessed the accident. Yet, there seems to be a physical connection between the two time periods. As it progresses, small hints and clues can be found that tie all of these different worlds together as the common link becomes clearer.
