Time Thief

Horacio Rucker is a creature of myth who is agitated. His vast years walking the planet have prevented him from finding his purpose, the meaning of his long life. He wants more. This may explain his need to get back on the road. A firmly placed dart in the center of a map chose his destination. Karma is a wench. Kansas it is. His tent revival and cast of participants will make his cover easier. It will allow him to lay hands on and collect the lives and energies of the unknowing towns folk. Verna, Horacio's right hand, is as mean as she is round. She hates completely and freely with no regrets. She has secrets and scars from the world that has been so cruel to her. Her bite makes her bark seem kind. Can she open herself to the people of this town, or burn it to the ground with just one match? Adam Dreck is Horacio's muscle. His warrior. His protector. His golem. He was created with a purpose, but he dreams of more. He wants a life outside of Horacio and his demands. He wants love, and a lifetime to enjoy it. Destiny Landon is a Nurse and loves her patients, but her highest joy is found in sleep. That is where he is. Her love. He shows her what she deserves in the wakeful world. He holds her and listens to her hopes, dreams, and troubles. He is who she wants. Imagine her surprise when she attends a tent revival with her patient and his gold-digger of a wife, to find her dream lover, the man she compares all to, is not only real, but standing before her. **Horacio and Destiny fell in love in their sleep then found one another in the wakeful world. Can they build a real relationship based on their dreams or will his secrets break them completely? **
