Power has a price. As Manhattan's most sought-after confidante, Zo� Hall knows this better than anyone. But when a preternatural force begins hunting her through her dreams, she discovers her mother's death twenty years ago was just the beginning, and that some legacies are written in blood.

Part psychological thriller, part surrealistic fantasy, The Leveling explores consciousness and reality, grief and loss, and fearlessly delves into the existential. Pulled between present-day Manhattan and the forested realms of her dreams, Zo� finds herself wedged between the very pillars of light and dark as she comes face-to-face with the most formidable force she's ever encountered: her own mind.
