New Tales: On Nightmare’s Wings

"But it is not in dreams that truths are revealed. No. It is in the cobwebbed corridors of nightmares that truth waits to be found." - The Oracle Queen Cyra

Nightmares reveal personal terrors: unexpected reunions, hasty actions, ill-considered bargains, and the crushing weight of imposed responsibility. Warnings follow from sleep to waking, haunting the dreamers as they face the weight of what they have experienced.

From the pen of five-time Bram Stoker Award Winner Jonathan Maberry comes the exclusive Diablo IV short story collection On Nightmare's Wings. Three richly illustrated stories with animated videos reveal the deepest fears of troubled souls battling Hatred in Sanctuary: the young scholar Neyrelle, the Amazon Queen Adreona, and the disillusioned Horadrim Lorath.
