    About this ebook

    Abby’s demons threaten to unravel her mind and destroy her future. In 22nd century Argentina, there is nothing more desirable than joining the ranks of the World Space Agency (WSA), the international offshoot of NASA.

    While training for WSA, she’s faced with a test to overcome fear - a test that she nearly fails numerous times. But every time she endures these tests, a saviour appears. Is he a man or some celestial being? Either way, Abby’s dreams evolve as emotions stir within. That is, until the final battle when she must save her saviour... or risk descending into a pit of madness.

    Abby’s Darkness is a short story about one of the characters in the Dream Chamber series (to be released).

    D.L. Gabriel

    D.L. Gabriel moved 20 times before her eighteenth birthday and currently resides in the tundra that is Northern Ontario, Canada. Her brain hates sitting still and she has multiple adventures in her mind daily. Blessed (or cursed) with a vivid imagination, Gabriel has always fantasized about spending her days bringing those worlds, and characters, to life. Now, she has given in to that yearning and "Dane's Lair" is the first of many to come.
