City of nightmares duology series."--Provided by the publisher.

Ness used to have a vehement terror of Nightmares-- people who had been turned into their worst fears while they slept. Through two assassination attempts, an explosion, and a Faustian bargain with a dream demon, she is finally working through those fears. Working at a speakeasy where gunfights are common and death is a regular occurrence, Ness is forced to reckon with all her other fears-- including her fear of mortality. When the Nightmare Phantom-- the monster that turns people into Nightmares-- asks another favor of Ness, she agrees-- but only if he turns her into a Nightmare of her own choosing, something bullet proof and strong and able to live without fear. -- adapted from jacket
