  Summary

  The world has devolved into chaos and disarray as more and more of the population fall victim to the sleep sickness. Hired to find the king of dreams, Johanna Constantine enlists the help of a man fighting the sleep sickness.

  Meanwhile, during Dream’s entrapment, a new Oracle appears, sowing chaos between The Endless. Will they be able to talk Dream out of committing the gravest sin of slaughtering an Oracle once he discovers their existence, or is he destined to keep making mistakes?
