Mirror, mirror on the wall. Who will survive Lockwood after all?
Lockwood is a world of privilege, but for Alina, it’s a fight to belong. Her scholarship gets her through the doors, but true acceptance? That’s in the hands of her stepmother, Vanessa—the school’s stunning, manipulative music teacher.
Vanessa’s charm masks a twisted past, and when she sees Tristan again—the tattooed musical genius who was once her student—she’s determined to rekindle what they started. But Tristan is also hiding secrets: the ability to enter dreams. When his gift leads him straight into Alina’s mind, it sparks a connection neither of them can explain—or resist.
As their bond deepens, Vanessa’s jealousy turns dangerous, and her dark schemes push Alina’s life into real peril. Worse, Alina isn’t sure if Tristan is truly on her side or just another pawn in Vanessa’s game.
Caught between reality and a dream that feels all too real, Alina must decide if she can trust Tristan before Vanessa’s envy destroys them both. Because love might save her—or it might be the very thing that gets them killed.
