Summary (from goodreads): Four years have passed since Wren left Nevermor – since Rifter promised that he wouldn’t forget her. Now 19, Wren is shut away in an asylum, accused of madness and of murders she didn’t commit. When Rifter finally comes for her, it is not a moment too soon, and in her absence, Nevermor has changed. Under a cloud of mysterious darkness, the land has died.

At Rifter's request, Wren sets out across the broken world to gather the Wolf Pack, now separated, so that they might take back the land that is rightfully theirs. Out of love and trust, Wren agrees, but she finds out quickly that things are not all as they seem, and everyone has a different story to tell.

Forsaken Dreamscape is the sequel to Nevermor. Taking place four years after the events, the reader gets to witness Wren returning to Nevemor to find that the world she once knew is corrupted and the Wolf Pack have separated. This book was an wonderful read much like the first book. I droved right in this and I wasn't disappointed. I loved how Lani allowed the wolf pack to become somewhat corrupted with the vast lands of Nevemor, they grew up into young adults like Wren. Each of them were darker, yet still maintained some of their 'child-like' mannerism. I fell in love with Nix even more than I did with the first book. The way he acts is in the middle of tragic and yet holds on to that crazy loyalty people don't see everyday. Rifter and others have changed as well, but I'm not going to spoil the good stuff for you all. However, I can say they changed in a twisted way in order to maintain the 'horror' elements within the novel.

Wren in my opinion has changed in a semi-positive way. She still was too naïve and too 'innocent' to grasp the larger picture, but she somehow became the 'heart' of the group by attempting to bring her family back together and save their homeland. Hopefully in the last book, she will become stronger for everyone around her.

Overall, the concept of the story was fantastic. Each of the major characters were more developed as the story went on, and the plot kept on thicken yet still stuck into to the original concept of the "Peter Pan" ordeal. This story was a wonderful and I can't wait for the final book, Shadow Sun!
