A drafted empath. A dreamwalking poet. A world at war. Chicago, 1917. Idealistic, dreamwalking poet Elliot Stone's magic can inflict euphoria or horror with a simple touch. In love with being in love, Elliot's never had a problem falling. Keeping someone on the other hand... Stubborn, fiercely independent Warren "Sully" Sullivan is an illusionist with a secret: he feels the emotions of others as visceral sensations. A lifetime of fending for himself and parsing feelings that aren't his own has left him guarded. An explosive emotional connection on their last night of freedom before shipping off to training should have been nothing more than a one-night stand. And it was. Until Elliot awakens in Sully's nightmare with the irresistible urge to save him, even if it splinters his carefully crafted moral code. When tragedy draws them together in France to battle enemies with twisted magic, where their secrets are a liability, can they bring their dreams-and love-to life? Or will the war cost them everything?
