Steve McKerry returned from the city of doors.

But returning is not the same as being free.

After surviving the crash that should have ended his life, Steve wakes to a world already changed without him. His body is damaged. His marriage is breaking apart. His authority is fading. And the people he hurt are still waiting inside the life he chose to return to.

The city showed him who he could have been.

Reality shows him what he actually left behind.

As Steve moves through recovery, legal consequences, family fracture, and the return of visions that should not be possible, he begins to understand that survival is only the beginning. The truth has followed him back — into his marriage, into his home, and into the lives of his sons.

When Matthew, his oldest son, begins repeating the same destructive patterns, Steve realizes the nightmare did not end when he opened his eyes.

Rooms Without Names: What Wakes With You is Book 2 in the Rooms Without Names series — a dark, emotional psychological thriller with a surreal edge, about guilt, identity, family damage, and the doors that do not close when we wake.
