DreamshaperOrson Bailey is used to trouble finding him. He has spent his young life ridiculed and bullied by his peers and tormented by his baby sister.
Unfortunately, things are about to get a whole lot worse. At night, strange happenings have begun to creep into Orson's mind: vivid dreams and nightmares so realistic and frightening that they start to affect his already sour relationship with both his classmates and family. His entire world is thrown into upheaval when his darkest wish is granted and his sister disappears, stolen into the world of dreams. Through the darkness, Orson unexpectedly develops a bond with a few of his classmates. Together, they must find a way to survive a world filled with magical creatures of pure and dark origins, a world of dreams where anything can happen and where Orson must discover his destiny as the one true Dreamshaper in order to save his sister. |

This is not your every day town. There is something dark here, something that lies beneath the surface. The kids that live here know this more than anybody. Everybody has a story, and not all stories have happy endings.
Welcome to Mardell. |
