Elsewhere, Lucifer has fallen again, only this time he might be in a hell of his own design.
And in London, a young boy named Timothy Hunter sleeps, in his dreams he becomes the world's most powerful magician, but in his nightmares, he becomes the world's worst villain, which future will become reality?

There is a place where gods are born and stories spun. But twenty-three years after he was anointed as its master, Dream of the Endless has inexplicably abandoned the dreaming. His absence triggers a series of crimes and calamities which consume the lives of those already tangled in his fate, among them Lucien the Librarian, Nuala of Faerie, and Dora, a monstress without memories. But while they struggle to restore the King to his throne, they face from intrigues within and conquest from without. As usurpers circle the defenseless domain and an impossible shadow awaits its own birth beside a rip in reality, denizens of the dreaming play out their stories of loss and love, resignation and resistance.

Latoya is in a coma. Her Girlfriend enlists the help of Latoya's two younger sisters. Using the Book of Whispers, they mistakenly steal the essence of Erzulie, a deity of voodoo mythology. The psychic blowback of the spell causes her house to crash into the Dreaming, beside the Houses of Secrets and Mystery and their custodians, Cain and Abel.
In the real world, the awakened young woman suffers a mystical form of Cortard's Delusion - she believes she is already dead, and she is transmitting her beliefs to others, causing them to become guardians of the Gap that has appeared in the Dreaming.

A few years ago, the devil vanished. Some people say he died or simply ran away, while others believe he never existed at all. But we aren't some people. No. This is the one true story of what happened to the Prince of Lies, the Bringer of Light - Lucifer, the blind, destitute old man, who lives in a small boarding house in a quiet little town, where nothing is quiet what it seems and no one can leave. He's trapped, you see? Trapped in a bizarre prison with no memory of how he got there or why. Meanwhile in Los Angeles, a policeman who may have cancer is tasked with a mission of divine importance: find and kill Lucifer.
