Nightmares haunt Ariela Brand. For weeks, they plague her nights, and when she starts having waking nightmares, her sister convinces her to make an appointment with a local psychologist. Seth specialized in sleep disorders, and before long, he and Ari have fallen into a secret, underground world where the mind is stronger than it seems. Can they find a way to protect themselves and their loved ones before a mysterious Agency finds them? The answer is What Lies in a Dream…. Ari starts her new job at a large biomedical corporation, even though the lab equipment leaves her with inexplicable fear. Her recurring nightmares bridge the gap to the waking world as she attacks a stranger in the parking lot of her sister's workplace… After meeting with Dr. Seth Landon to talk about the possible triggers for her nightmares and psychotic episodes, Ari begins to think there is more to her dreams than just a strange fear of lab equipment. When a set of teen siblings disappear from the shelter her sister works at, Ari does her best to help track them down. The missing teens lead her to an underground world that might have the answers she’s been seeking, and that will lead her to believe that she may possess a power greater than she ever thought possible. As the fighting between the Agency and the Underground escalates, Ari and her friends will do whatever it takes to bring down the real source of Ari’s nightmares.
