Description
For five years, I have let my haunted past keep me in the shadows of the city, but that ends today. Today, I am leaving and striking out on my own to build a new life for myself in the peace of the mountains. I am going it alone until I discover that Arrow, my brother’s friend, has followed me.
Arrow knows of my past, and he has never stepped over the boundaries I have set with men, so I let him join me. Yet, the nightmares from my past never go away. They continuously feed my fears of getting close to any man, including Arrow.
On our journey, we stumble across the path of the Dream Walker. With his whispers, I give in to his charms, hoping they will heal me. Night after night, he visits, taking my nightmares away, and I find myself falling in love with him. But he isn’t real.
Arrow, however, is real. He has always stood by me, and although he pushes me at times, no man has ever made me feel so safe. I want to give in to love and a future I never saw for myself. To do so, I will have to face my past once and for all.
Warning:
This book deals with the challenges a woman may face after an attack by rape. There is a brief reflection of the act that is shown in a dream state. This story was written in the perspective of overcoming emotional fears, self-doubt, and having the support of loved ones to help see you through.

This book contains a mystical journey towards the acceptance of oneself in a world of trauma. Emotion collides with the shadow of memories for the female protagonist where help comes from surprising sources.
In a fantastical realm, Jenna is a character who must first learn to love herself before she can love anyone in return. Her interactions with Arrow were really sweet while her encounters with Bran had a mysterious edge to them. With the help of these two characters, Jenna's healing process took her to unimagined heights where love flourished along with desire.
Gina Manis has created an amazing story dealing with loss in an interesting way with certain paranormal twists and turns. Overall, I loved this book. I can't wait to read more books from this author.

Jenna is being forced to marry a man she does love and decides to change her fate and make a run for it into the mountains. She is followed by her brother in law's friend, Arrow, who decides to travel with her. This situation is problematic because Jenna has a history of being sexually assaulted and is repelled by a man's touch so being near Arrow is very difficult. As the story unfolds, she discovers that Arrow might be the one person who can help her through her trauma and heal.
I loved every minute of this story. Jenna was so broken and wounded, but you could see her light trying to shine through and her strength to get better. Her and Arrow's relationship was so beautiful and I loved how patient and understanding he was as he helped her work through her traumatic experiences. Bran was my favorite character of all. I adored his loving relationship with Jenna and how his healing powers played into her recovery. The only thing I wished for was a little bit more background information about the magical elements at play.
