Williams combines epic world-building with a thrilling love triangle in The Sleepless, a high-stakes romantasy set in a world where gods and monsters roam the earth. Meet Elver, who was saved by the Queen of the Serpents when she was just a child, and Artair, who spends his nights shut up in a tower because of the dangerous spirit that overtakes his body when he sleeps. When Artair is sent on a mission to steal a monster cub that is under Elver's protection, he - and Lucian, the other spirit inhabiting his body - are set on a collision course with the monster girl that will challenge everything they think they know about their world.
