In a realm where the fabric of dreams intertwines with reality, ancient deities and new narratives converge, creating a tapestry rich with imagination and intrigue. The story unfolds within the enigmatic landscapes of the Sandman Universe, where dreams can shape worlds, and the essence of existence is ever-evolving. The creators invite readers to traverse pathways lined with the echoes of legendary beings, encountering characters who are both familiar and unexpected.

Simon Spurrier weaves a narrative that is both thoughtful and expansive, carefully building on the mythos established by Neil Gaiman.
