This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice.
Every night, Miriam dreams of the same impossible place.

A quiet lake. Pale trees. Lanterns glowing without flames. Paths that seem to lead somewhere but never quite follow the rules of the waking world.

Then she meets a stranger.

His name is Ionatan, and unlike everyone else in her life, he seems to know the rules of the place. He knows what can cross between the dream and waking worlds. He knows what happens when you look too closely at the lake. And he knows that some questions have a cost.

Miriam is used to understanding things by observing, measuring, and recording them. The stranger is the first mystery she cannot solve by gathering enough evidence. Yet night after night, their conversations become longer, their silences more comfortable, and the space between them harder to dismiss as merely a dream.

But dreams disappear when morning comes.

As fragments of the impossible begin leaving traces in the real world, Miriam and Ionatan find themselves facing a question neither of them can answer with certainty: if they cannot remember everything when they wake, does that make what happened between them less real?

Their connection grows beyond the lake, beyond the rules, and eventually beyond the safety of the dream itself. To find each other in the waking world, they must confront what they have spent their lives trying to control, the fear of losing something simply because they cannot prove it will remain.

Sometimes love does not need evidence.

Sometimes the hardest thing is not finding someone.

It is choosing to stay awake with them.
