During the day he looks like a regular teenager trying to pass calculus, but at night he is the monster that haunts peoples dreams and steals them. The real life boogeyman. From the time he and his crew was changed this is his nightly job, so when one night he lands himself in the dream of a girl who's power both intrigues him and scares him, he cant help but visit her every night. Tantibus comes from the Latin word nightmare, an ancient clan that used dark magic to steal power from dreams to gain power. After the Great War, the tantibus were sent into hiding for centuries while the dreamcatchers slowly died off. Only seventeen years ago is when a group of elder tantibus were sent out in the mortal world to turn children into the next generation of Tantibus and slowly gain power again after years in hiding. Now nearly 500 years after the Great War dream catchers and tantibus come together again in the most unlikely of places, to end evil once and for all.
