School’s out, and Jacob's off on a summer-long family trip, leaving Corbin to manage the group. Easy, right? Wrong. Corbin’s plate is already full with his military academy application, helping his uncle rebuild a fence, and worst of all, tutoring Simon for his ACT test.

Corbin’s mission? Keep everything under control and avoid drawing any attention until Jacob returns. But the Gemyond—the perilous realm of memory and dreams—keeps pulling Corbin in. There, powerful enemies lurk in the shadows, waiting, watching, plotting. And Jacob might not be back before they make their next move.

It’s time for Corbin to take charge.

It’s time to strike first.
