The King of Dreams

Brody Knox has always been better at dreaming than speaking. When he meets Iris Blake, he finds every reason to stay silent — and pays for it dearly. This is the story of crimson letters, black envelopes, and a red thread that refuses to stay broken. Of a man who needed years, a new year's countdown, and a winter journey to finally say what he should have said from the start. Not a fairy tale. But close enough to hurt.
