Summary
Lord Morpheus is the eldest child of the Earl and Countess of Endless, an ancient family hiding huge debts behind a fine name. As an omega, Morpheus cannot inherit his father's title or the family's ancestral home. His function is simple: secure a match that is both socially advantageous and financially viable, thus securing the future of the estate and the title of Earl of Endless for his offspring. The family believe that their troubles are solved when Morpheus dutifully (if reluctantly) becomes engaged to his wealthy cousin, Patrick. However, all their carefully laid plans are thrown into chaos when Patrick drowns on the ill-fated Titianic.
Now Morpheus is navigating treacherous waters of his own and discovering how tight the ties of family loyalty bind him. Will the charming and handsome Duke of Crowborough prove his saviour? Or will the wealthy yet odious Sir Roderick Burgess ensnare Morpheus in plans of his own?
Meanwhile, the family’s new chauffeur, one Robert Gadling, is muddying the waters of Morpheus’s existence even further- where is the line between a servant and a friend? Can Hob help Morpheus see that life exists beyond the confines of family and function?

Summary
Her debt to Hell is coming due. His heart might be the price.
Eighty-four years in the dark forged a bond neither of them wanted. The six years since all but destroyed it. But now Hell is calling in a debt and Andromeda is dragged back into the orbit of the Dream Lord who left her behind.
Somewhere between the Waking World and the Dreaming, between desire and damnation, they will have to decide what is worth the risk: his realm, her soul… or each other.

Summary
Contrary to belief, the Endless did not know all. They were not the most powerful beings in the universe. They existed to serve the world they were born into by Time and Night. Time and Night, who in turn, only existed by a wave of the hand by the Creator - when the universe was born.
What was known was that Lucifer and Michael were fated to fight until the end of days - the war between the silver city and Hell constant and ruthless. However, it was not fought directly by them - but by their cohorts... demons for Lucifer and Nephilims for angels.
Nephilims were feral beings, no better than demons - only marked with grace and wings instead of blackness and horns. Creatures that were vicious and ravenous - feasting on the blood and essence of their enemies.
The Endless did not know everything, but even Dream knew that it was best to never meet a Nephilim without a muzzle... and better yet, it was best to not cross the considered leader of the Nephilim, the only female - Mikayla.
But as said before... the Endless... Dream did not know everything. He did know duty. He did not know her.

Summary
“Sister,” Morpheus cut over her, “why are you doing this?”
Death glared at him. “Why?? You seriously have to ask me that? I don’t want to see you scarred, Dream!” she snapped angrily, hurt. “If this goes wrong, you’ll carry the scar of this until the end of this universe! I don’t want that, and setting aside the part where I love you, brother, the very thought of it is abhorrent to me, to my very nature! And I don’t want to see that poor women withered away into little more then a spiritual tumour for you to bare!”
~
Lilly's gaze fixed on his eyes and the stars, the galaxies, the universe in his pupils. When he reached for her she stepped back with a gasp. “What are you?”
“I am everything I have ever told you I am, that my sister told you I am. You just didn’t understand, didn’t appreciate, the scale of what that meant. I have never lied to you, Lilly.”
Her eyes were wide and frightened as she whispered, “Dream...”
~~
When a single mistake creates a cascade of events with only two possible outcomes, either joy, or tragic devastation, all pieces on the board must be brought to bare.
With the Endless, magic, and love, lies just a hair's breadth away from the depths of insanity.

Summary
Although she hears it constantly, Death knows it's not truly her fault when mortals' time comes to pass. She may help ferry them, but she does not kill them - not truly. She may help with the circumstances, she may help nudge them, but she doesn't murder anyone. Her function was the most natural part of every mortal's life. She took joy in her function.
Which would never change. Shouldn't change.
Except it does. All of it does. Everything comes falling down and apart when it's not Dream that's taken by Roderick but Death. And it's Death who suffers his hospitality, and it's Death who is faced with a choice every week to let a man die or save Randall.
Every day, she's called a murderer. Death is not... she won't... but perhaps for Roderick and company, when she is free, she'll make an exception... and she's certain she'll take quite a bit of joy from it.

Summary
Dream has spent seventy years trapped - unspeaking, near unmoving. He will not capitulate. He will not give in.
But that doesn't change that he can't help but dream too of a day of when he is out, able to return to his realm and function... freedom (in a sense) from this glass prison - though... his function... that overwhelming responsibility...
It doesn't matter... he may never get out... no one is coming... no one will help... he's alone. Even if he dreams of another world where that isn't true. It's fleeting, but he is Dream of the Endless.
And it's all he desires.
**When Roderick decides on using a spell, as a last ditch effort, to get his son back, he doesn't realize the catastrophic outcome of trying to force an entity of fantasy and reality to conform to him - to create a son reborn.
AKA Roderick accidentally turns Dream into a two year old... and everything falls down from there.

"This one is a special case," Burgess says. "He is a war hero. Do you understand? You will be on your best behavior. You know what happens when you are not."
Two years into his imprisonment, and Dream of the Endless has not given Roderick Burgess what he wants. Yet if he cannot have back his son, then he will have whatever else Dream has to give, and sell it to the highest bidder: body, powers, and all.
Hob Gadling, newly back from the Western Front, has barely slept since 1889, and is desperate for any sort of relief, even that peddled by mad old men claiming to be warlocks.
