Dreamwalker Rising

He thought sleep was an escape. Instead, it became the battlefield.

Eleven years ago, Zach Shonakie's life shattered.
A hit-and-run accident killed his mother, cost him his right leg, and left him drowning in survivor's guilt. Obsessed with finding the driver who disappeared that night, Zach has pushed away his family, abandoned any hope of a normal future, and convinced himself he doesn't deserve one.
Then his estranged father returns carrying a stolen Lakota dreamcatcher known as Eden's Claw.
The moment Zach touches it, everything changes.
The next time he falls asleep, his dream body awakens in the real world.
Whole again. Faster. Stronger. Nearly unstoppable.
For the first time in over a decade, Zach can run.
But every gift comes with a price.
Each time Zach sleeps, terrifying creatures called Night Terrors cross into the waking world, leaving death and destruction in their wake. Hunted by the ancient Shadowshifter and pursued by mysterious immortal guardians sworn to protect Eden's Claw, Zach is thrust into a hidden war that has been raging since the aftermath of Wounded Knee.
From the streets of St. Petersburg and the beaches of Florida to the windswept plains of South Dakota, Zach joins Lakota elder Iron Thunder, his fearless granddaughter Lilly, and an unlikely group of friends in a desperate race to stop a nightmare from consuming the world.
But defeating monsters may be easier than facing the truth.
To become the Dreamwalker the world needs, Zach must confront the guilt that has defined his life, learn to trust the people he has spent years pushing away, and discover that redemption is not earned by dying for others, but by choosing to live for them.
Dreamwalker Rising is a supernatural thriller that blends urban fantasy, Native American influences, superhero adventure, mystery, and heartfelt humor into an unforgettable story about grief, hope, family, and the extraordinary power hidden within our dreams.
