Wan's takeover of Dream's realm is nearly complete. As his identity slips away, Abel only has one secret left in his pocket. And poor, tortured Lucien, lost and without purpose, longs for nothing but release, and to return to the foundations of the Dreaming. So why can't he go? Does he have a purpose yet to serve? If he wants to die...why must he continue to pay the high cost of living?

In these tales from The Dreaming #1-6 and THE Sandman Universe Special #1, Lord Daniel's absence triggers crimes and calamities that consume the lives of those already tangled in his fate. Until he is found, his realm's residents must protect its broken borders alone. But the most senior story-tellers are tormented by invasive secrets, Lucien is doubting his own mind, and beyond the gates, something horrific awaits with tooth and talon.

Even the Lord of Dreams is powerless against the storm of lost love.

Meanwhile, a newly awakened mind in the Dreaming brings with it radical changes that may undo reality itself! Collects The Dreaming #7-12.
