to hide
his colors.

The new novel / Second edition

The Price
of Sleep

Every Monday, Eno Veyr pays part of his rent with ninety minutes of sleep.

He works in recovery, seizing the nights that debtors pledged and could not pay for. Then a black crystal leads him to a missing woman — and to the lives his own nights made possible.

Under a second moon and the floating cities it keeps aloft, Eno follows a trail through a black market in dreams and a fallen city whose people learned to live sideways.

A fictional novel about what we owe the lives we never lived.

The author

Éon D. Aletheia

Fiction at the meeting point of sensory experience, identity and imagined worlds.

The Scars of Light follows a man who has learned to disguise his perception. The Price of Sleep enters a city where nights can be bought, pledged and taken. Each novel asks what a life leaves out — and who pays for it.
