The Sleepless

Journalist Emma investigates the mysterious death of her mother, a historian who was researching a group of people known as the Sleepless who supposedly never required sleep. Her search leads her to a remote island where she uncovers a dark history involving a 1950s cult and a pharmaceutical company's experiments. Emma soon discovers that the secret behind the Sleepless is tied to ancient folklore and carries a terrifying price.

The Sleepless finds the cursed guardian of a forest full of monsters facing danger when she crosses paths with Artair, who is destined to share his body with an evil spirit. Welcome to a world where gods and monsters roam the earth . . . Elver is the guardian of the wild and dangerous monster forest. Saved from the brink of death by a god, her skin will poison anyone she touches. Artair is on a mission that takes him face-to-face with Elver. Her defenses are useless when she discovers he's the only human impervious to her deadly gift. For Artair isn't human: he's one of the Sleepless, cursed to share his body with an evil spirit. Lucian inhabits their body while Artair sleeps, and he is hell-bent on manipulating Elver for his dark purposes. But Elver is harbouring secrets too, and she has her own reasons for feigning an alliance with these two souls. Caught in the crossfire of gods, monsters, and a dangerous magic they can barely understand, it is only a matter of time before the paths the three of them choose to take will set alight the foundations of their world.
