In a city built on control, one crystal could shatter everything.
In the brutal depths of Degen City, a war rages between those who crave absolute order and those willing to die for freedom. Dr. Edward and his enigmatic superior, Dr. Ninonine, will stop at nothing to recover a mysterious crystal, wielding torture, manipulation, and cold execution as instruments of progress. They believe they alone know what is best for civilization, and they will burn through every life it takes to prove it.
But somewhere in the shadows, a resistance endures. Its members are hunted, broken, and disappearing one by one. They serve a leader their enemies call a warmonger, yet they hold fast to a cause worth dying for. The crystal they protect could tip the balance of power forever, and both sides know it. As loyalties fracture and the body count climbs, the line between order and tyranny, between revolution and destruction, becomes impossible to see.
In a world where science is a weapon and faith is a death sentence, who deserves to shape the future? And what happens when the ones who claim to save civilization are the very ones tearing it apart? Tales of Dreams is a relentless, unflinching science fiction thriller that asks how far humanity will go in the name of progress.
