They're being watched. And the watchers are comparing notes.
Kelly notices them first—cars that don't belong, phones that click at weird times, someone always half a block behind her. Then Detective Morrow shows up with a warning: powerful people have been asking questions about "the woman who always knows the answers."
James digs deeper and finds something terrifying: The Syndicate. Wealthy collectors who've formed a coalition, sharing information about every known dream walker in the country. They're not competing anymore. They're cooperating.
And they're planning a coordinated strike to take every bonded cat on the same night.
Luna shows Kelly dreams about other pairs across America—seven total, all in danger. A teenager in Seattle. An elderly woman in New Orleans. A firefighter in Boston. People who have no idea they've been marked for capture.
Elena drops a bombshell: she knows about The Syndicate because they took her dream walker thirty years ago. That's how Nephthys really died—in a lab, being studied. Elena's been waiting three decades for a chance at revenge.
The Network expands, reaching out to warn the other bonded pairs. They plan to strike first—break into The Syndicate's mountain compound, steal their files, burn their research. But when they arrive, Kelly discovers one pair has already fallen. The Seattle kid's in a psych ward, his mind shattered. His cat is gone.
The mission goes sideways. They get the files, start the fire, but they're discovered. Margaret takes a bullet protecting Isis. They barely make it out alive.
Back home, recovering, they realize they've won a battle but started a war. The Syndicate is wounded and furious. And The Network just inherited a list of forty-three dream walkers they now have to protect—before The Syndicate rebuilds and comes for all of them.
The storm is gathering. The hunt is spreading. And Kelly's about to learn that some enemies can't be stopped—only survived.
