Sleep and waking… A thin and razor-sharp line between them sliced Isabelle Copley’s life clean in two. In the past, she was a gifted painter and the pupil of a great master; now, on a secluded island, she searches for refuge from nightmares that have become real. What shattered Isabelle’s fate—an extraordinary gift or a terrible curse? And who is her teacher, really: a cunning villain or a peerless genius? The painter is afraid to learn the truth. But like a ghost, a letter from a long-dead friend appears and forces Isabelle to return to the past and cross the blade of her dream once more.
