Summary
"I’ve only ever met you when I sleep."
For as long as she can remember, twenty-five-year-old Maya’s nights have belonged to a stranger. Every time she closes her eyes, she finds herself pulled into a vivid, recurring dreamscape—a quiet, shadowy rooftop suspended beneath a breathtaking, star-lit sky. And always waiting for her in the center of this midnight world is him. He is a man whose voice feels like home, whose presence pulls at her soul, but whose face remains agonizingly blurred, obscured by the shifting shadows of her own subconscious.
To Maya, these aren’t just dreams; they are a lifeline. She has fallen hopelessly in love with a phantom, spending her waking hours feeling entirely out of place in the modern world, always searching the faces of strangers in crowds, desperate to find the man from the middle of her sleep. Her life takes a dizzying turn when, while navigating the crowded streets of the city, she stumbles directly into a man whose touch sends an inexplicable jolt of familiarity through her. He looks up, and his eyes hold a depth that strikes her with the absolute certainty that this is not the first time they have met.
Though she cannot place him, every instinct screams that she has known him before, that a profound connection binds them in the real world. Is he merely a mirror of the phantom she chases in her dreams, or has she finally stumbled upon the flesh-and-blood anchor to her soul’s midnight home? As Maya tries to bridge the gap between her subconscious desires and the waking world, she must uncover the truth behind this duality. Is the universe offering her a second chance at a love she thought was lost, or is this connection something else entirely?
