Chasm Of Dreams: A Dark, Fantasy Romance
More than a thousand years ago, the humans of Astaran were conquered by a vengeful Fallen Angel named Chemosh a.k.a “The Sovereign”. Through the deception of Hel’s general---the mighty black wolf and demi-God, SkÖll---she betrays the Gods of Lyrath to declare war on a race of humans with powerful psychic abilities. The Gods then exile her to Astaran and sever her black wings. With the help of her acolytes, The Anakaii, she takes control of Astaran.
AIDA is an orphan and nomad whose parents vanished when she was seven. Her gift of Dream Walking allows her to project into anyone’s mind and plant a suggestion that will compel them to comply. When her power leads to deadly consequences, she vows to never use the gift on anyone again. During her time in the wilderness, Aida’s relationships are sparce, except for the mysterious presence that has been linked to her consciousness for as long as she can remember…
When an Astaran Guard and tracker named TYRAN is tasked with finding an escaped prisoner, he finds Aida after she has been captured by four vicious servants of The Sovereign. Upon saving her from a brutal assault, the pair flee into the dangerous depths of The Furian wood, far from the reach of The Sovereign’s stronghold in Opeth city.
As they travel to the bounds of their known world and approach the towering Vazaketh mountain range, they encounter ancient beasts, discover a hidden race of exiles, learn the answers to the secrets of their past and future, and a solidify a soul-bond that may be the key to the liberation of their entire realm.

This story was right up my alley! Hooked me right from the start. Great world building, very descriptive, excellent character development.
Aida is a bad ass but also relatable because we all have moments when we question ourselves and choices we make.
Tyran is excellent book boyfriend material. There so many interesting side characters, and can’t wait to see more of their stories. Can’t wait to see more of Ravn’s story!
The way everything came together in the end and how the characters collide and are entangled, was so interesting.
Cliffhanger ending! You’ve been warned!

After reading the dedication, I was EXCITED!!
but then…
I’m not really a fan of them jumping back-and-forth between multiple POV’s right away. It makes it hard to get sucked into the story. Since we’re getting the multiple POV, scenes get replayed from the other persons perspective so it’s a tiny bit repetitive? Almost? But it does fill in the looks and body language that are described from the other person… You’re not left wondering. I don’t know about you, but I kinda like to wonder! And then, too many POV‘s for one book. For me, it took away from the point of the plot and the fluidity of the storyline. Some felt “tossed in”.
So we have multiple people that are maybe destined to come across each other’s paths, one person who we haven’t heard of since the very beginning, a fated future, a prophecy… and spicy bits.
This is definitely insta-lust (insta-love?). There’s a strong sensual tension/attraction that happens before they really even know each other, outside of their dreams! it almost immediately grows into a “to whatever end” (yes, that is a direct quote from THIS book) without any real development.
I really wanted to like this book, I really thought I would, but at 50%, I still struggled to care. Yes, I finished it.
I didn’t hate it, but I also didn’t love it… I know many others will!

This book had me hooked from page one and I binged it in three hours, it was SO SO good!
For fans of Gods and Goddesses, utmost devotion, and unique magic this fantasy is a must read.
The dark themes that made this a dark fantasy are heavy but I found that gave the story all that more impact for me, that is what draws me to the darker fantasy genre and the elements of this story did not disappoint.
The themes gave our charcaters so much more depth and I connected with all of them. even more so after getting their POV and thoughts into their past and their struggles.
The devotion between our FMC and MMC was top-tier, they would do anything for each other, very touch them and die energy from both of them!! They offer up every parts of themselves to each other and genuinely accept each other.
The magic system in this story was so interesting and I was further hooked once I learned of its origins.
This had a hit the ground running opening, high stakes pacing afterwards, high stakes tension throughout, a big dash of spice, and the ending blew my mind!
I absolutely can not wait to see where this story goes in Book 2!

I’m SO GLAD I got an ARC of this book! It was everything I wanted in a Dark Romantasy! Dream Walking and other epic magical powers, Soul Bonding, An Evil Sovereign that needs to be taken down, Gods, Soulless Warriors, A BADASS FMC who doesn’t run from her destiny, a warrior MMC who would follow her absolutely anywhere and burn the world to ash for her, incredible imagery, loneliness and heartache that are palpable, found family…. The list goes on and on.
Dakoda somehow made me fall in love with a blonde MMC! And don’t even get me started on Kine and Ravn 🫠😍
When is the next book?! That cliffhanger was brutal and amazing! Read this book!

What To Expect:
✨Touch her and die
✨ "Who did this to you?"
✨ FMC goes from reluctant hero to BAMF
✨ Strangers to lovers
✨ Yearning
✨ MMC is a cinnamon roll w/ a tortured soul
✨ Epic, High Fantasy
✨ Found family
✨ Open door spice
✨ Throne Of Glass meets Outlander & Interstellar
4.5⭐️
omg. omg. omg.
dakoda what did you put in this book?!? i was so hooked the entire time
the reason it took me as long as it did to finish is because i had a few other books i had to read first 😅😭 i kept getting really mad at myself for that too because i was so hooked on this one and didn't want to have to put it down
but then i finally had some time to get bavk to it and finished the rest of the book in one sitting.
the world building was out of this world. it was done/written so perfectly which made it so easy to visualize everything as if it was playing out around me like a movie. the characters are also so well writted too. i dont even know who my favorite character is because it's just so hard to choose
i also dont even know where to go with this review because that cliffhanger has me stuck staring in space and contemplating life. i truly cannot wait for book 2! omg

First of all…THANK YOU.
I had SO much fun tabbing this one…and then I started reading…and yeah… I didn’t move.
✨ CHASM OF DREAMS ✨
This wasn’t just a story
this felt like stepping into something ancient… heavy…inevitable
Aida
“I was done being broken and fragile. I’d had enough of this shit.”
TELL ME WHY THAT LINE HIT ME IN MY SOUL
because this whole book is about that moment where you realize…
you either stay small
or you become something the world isn’t ready for
“He followed me. He found me… again. And something settled deep within me nodded in acceptance, as if I already knew he would.”
Tyran didn’t just fall… he chose her in every way possible
“You can’t run from me anymore, little shadow.”
Sir you didn’t have to go that hard but I’m also not complaining😮💨😏
Their connection?
“The Gods have marked us for each other. Together we are unbreakable.”
This was soul recognition like they were always meant to collide
and the DEVOTION?
“I will not allow you to face this alone. Live or die, we do it together.”
but what really got me…
was how much of Aida I saw in myself
that fear of your own power
that guilt of hurting people even when you didn’t mean to
that constant question of….
am I becoming something I can’t come back from?
and the world?
dark. brutal. unforgiving.
but layered with magic that felt so unique it actually gave me chills
“War is coming, Dream Walker… You must wield it…”
AND THEN THAT ENDING?!?!?!
no because actually…
WHAT. WAS. THAT.
I just sat there like:
“so we’re all just supposed to continue life after this?”
If you love:
🖤 dark romantasy
⚔️ touch her & die energy
🌌 soul bonded lovers
🔥 unique magic systems
💔 pain, healing, and becoming
READ THIS🤌🏾👏🏾

I don’t want to be okay

The story. The characters. The world building. The 🥵🥵🥵 **chef's kiss**
I can't wait for the world to enjoy this book and I'm so proud of Dakoda for chasing those beautiful dreams of hers!

Wow — this book was absolutely astounding! From the dedication alone, I was completely hooked. I knew right away I was in for something special.
Reading this felt like watching a movie play out in my mind. Every scene was so vivid and immersive that I could picture everything perfectly. I stayed up way too many late nights because I simply could not put it down!
The story itself is incredibly unique, and I loved the abilities the characters possessed. It added such an exciting layer to the world and made everything feel fresh and captivating.
Aida (FMC) is strong-willed, independent, and an absolute badass. She brings so much intensity and determination to the story, which made her impossible not to root for. Tyran (MMC) will definitely have you swooning he’s powerful and fierce, but also has a softer side that makes him even more irresistible.
I also really appreciated the supporting characters. They all complemented each other so well, united in their fight to survive in such a strange and dangerous world. The world-building was phenomenal detailed without being overwhelming and I always felt like I understood exactly what was happening.
The multiple POVs added so much depth to the story. Getting to see different perspectives made everything feel richer and more layered.
And the spice? When it came, it came in HOT 🔥🥵and it fit the story perfectly without taking away from the plot.
That ending though?!?! What was that cliffhanger?! Dakoda, I need book two immediately!!!
I cannot wait to continue this series, and I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a gripping dark fantasy. Thank you for this masterpiece, Dakoda! 🥰

Um, excuse me Dakoda, I have two very important questions. 1: What kind of crack did you put in this book??? 2: What the fuck was that cliffy!?!?!? 2.5: When do we get book 2 ???
I loved this, ate it up like I haven't seen food for 3 days! I really enjoyed how we get a mixture of lore from different cultures in this world. It was perfection and creative! I am the kind of reader that sees like a movie of the book I am reading in my head, and with the way this was written, it was so vibrant in my mind.
I adore strong FMCs, ✔️. MMCs that are strong yet soft enough to charrish and support, ✔️ Great spice, ✔️ Multiple POVs, ✔️. Hidden realms of immortals, ✔️. Quests for artifacts, ✔️. Villains that you love to hate, ✔️.
The way this story flows was amazing. I enjoyed how our 2 MMC grow and discover how they have always been apart of each other. And by following this journey you come across all these great side characters. You easily become invested in this world. Dakota did an amazing job of dropping bread crumbs along the way, can't wait to see what those turn into. And honestly I wasn't expecting that ending. Bravo ma'am on your debut!!

Ok, there were many parts of this book that I loved, starting with the dedication. Absolute perfection! The world building was wonderful and beautiful to imagine. The overall story was wonderful, the thought of walking through dreams is so cool. The tension between the fmc and mmc, knowing each other through dreams and finally meeting and taking things further, chefs kiss 🤌! But the flow of the story gets so broken up by the amount of pov changes early on. It added to the story, but often felt repetitive after the mmc saves the fmc. It begins to repeat scenes from each pov. Some of it added intro ate details to add to the story and some felt like filler. Please don't get me wrong, I still loved the story and can't wait to see what's next!

While this was very much an insta-love story, the romance was very sweet. These two were perfect for each other and I want to know what happens in the next installment.
The magic was SO COOL and I really wanted it explored more. There was a lot of questing and travelling in this book and I hope the magic expands more in the next one. Dream magic, telekinesis, and more...
Because of all the travelling, not a lot actually happened which was a little disappointing. But I have so many questions about their past and their future and I will read the next book!
It does have a few explicit spice scenes and also the one trope that everyone hates (surprise pregnancy) which is listed in the triggers at the beginning, so it's not a spoiler. Because of that, this won't be for everyone.
Thank you to the author for the gifted copy. My thoughts are entirely my own.

What a unique book!
Something I love about Indie authors is that they bring you into worlds that some streamline books done touch and I feel like this book was one of them.
The world is literally ruled by a demon. The concept and plot were very well done. I did feel like the character's relationships were a bit rushed, however, is there a man more loving then Tyran?! Definitely a he falls first tope.
I absolutely enjoyed all the side characters POVs and I cannot wait to see how they all mix into the series. Not to mention the lore, and magical powers we have yet to see!

Chasm of Dreams by @dakodamazziiauthor devoured me. 🐺🔥
When a book opens with:
“May the Gods bless you with the power to change your circumstances… and orgasms that can transcend space and time.”
I knew I wasn’t safe. 😂✨
This story gives:
⚔️ Fallen angel villain
🌲 Ancient forest quest
🐺 Demi-god wolves
🖤 Dream walking psychic power
🔥 Devoted warrior MMC
✨ Soul-bond tension
Aida is powerful but restrained — and that choice makes her strength even more compelling.
And Tyran?
“I just found you. And now I must go to war with a demon to save you… I will not allow you to face this alone.”
Green. Flag. Warrior. Energy. 💚⚔️
The reverence for women in this book? Intentional. Powerful.
The intimacy? Tender. Vulnerable. BOTH virgins. And yes — we get the realistic aftermath details most fantasy skips. It felt sacred. 🖤
And then the ending.
No spoilers but:
Ambush.
Separation.
Blood.
River.
Fade to black.
People taken.
People left for dead.
Someone missing.
And we’re just expected to cope??? 😭🔥
This book builds connection and then detonates it.
5 stars.
Send the sequel immediately.

ARC review!!! I was able to read this beauty early! Wow!!! We have a wild strong and powerful FMC! Surprising love interest and incredible backstories!

Dreamwalker - prisioner to hero- cant wait for whats next for this group of heros!

I received this as an arc read. I really enjoyed the plot and all its potential. I also love the multiple pov and characters/couples happening. I will say however it feels a bit rushed and I want more layers to the couples before the instant love.

Finished Chasm of Dreams today! This was a really nice paced action/adventure/romantasy. Loved the dream walking aspect and all the world building/lore we get all throughout the book. Theres not much down time which i loved! The romance was adorable and cute and I love we got a few different couples we follow plus their POVs. A lot was set up for book 2 while making book 1 still very intriguing and fun. I cant wait for the next book!!

I really enjoyed this book.
it had everything I love.
magic, a love story, action, God's, kingdoms. The lands were described perfectly into felt like I could see the forest and picture Overlevende.
I like both the FMC Aida Na FMC Tyran. Dream walking is a crazy amazing magic that I wish I had! I love that Aida doesnt back down from her destiny.
I love that Tyran is a warrior who will totally burn the world down for Aida!
I also enjoyed the side characters.
This is a great first book in a series.
I cannot wait for book 2!! thank you so much for the opportunity to read this ARC.

ARC Read: I started off really liking this book. I was interested to see where it was headed, but about halfway through I started struggling to read it. I was not super into it again until close to the end of the book. I really think many people will love this book, but for me it was okay.

Took me a minute to get into but once it started I was sucked in. Our FMC is fierce, strong, and independent and our MMC is sweet, strong, and patient. There isn't much world building but its pretty character focused, so I didnt mind.
Does end on a cliffhanger. I cannot wait to read what happens next!

I just finished Chasm of Dreams and am enchanted. The world building and characters are exquisite. I love the lore that's been wrapped into this so far and cannot wait for book 2 of The Fate of Astaran series.
Review of advance copy received from Author
Thanks to the author for a chance to read this as an Advance Reader Copy. This is a great debut, and a story that sucked me in right away! The writing style established an emotional connection with each of the characters and the story. I'm used to stories where time passes more slowly, so it was a bit of an adjustment for me- but it didn't take away from the story at all. I thought it was paced well, and I love multiple POVs! Especially here, where things are happening in geographically distant areas that all build toward something. It was nice to have a view on everything as it progressed, rather than jumping around in time to go back to someone else's part of the story.
This ends on an absolutely diabolical cliffhanger, and I'm now anxiously awaiting the next book.

A story from multiple point of views within a world being led by an all powerful queen who you will hate from page 1. The FMC Aida who you will instantly fall in love with is a BAD ASS DREAM WALKING BITCH who will fight for her life and what she believes in. The MMC Tyran a golden retriever with a troubled past and has a touch her and die personality. It’s a slow burn love at first sight. The spice is just enough to keep you wanting more. The plot twist had me It really is a book that catches your attention from the start of the story. The world building was done really well and I am excited to see what’s next!

Holy moly that ending was gripping! The whole story had me hooked from the beginning. Aida and Tyran were just absolutely the sweetest pair! The chemistry and connection they formed from Aida being able to walk in his dreams to them finally meeting in person was absolutely beautiful. But that ending has absolutely left me in suspense. And a little tearful.

Wow! What an emotional journey! The love story is epic and the multiple pov’s definitely got me invested in the storylines of the other couples. I want to see where those progress, especially Ravn. But that ending! The whole book was learning the characters, the start of their journey and the world building and then all of a sudden so much action is happening. With that ending I can’t wait to see what happens in the next book!
Thank so much to the author for the arc of this book!

This was an intense, fast-paced ride!! Multiple POV was done so well, adding new characters as the story progressed. The world building was descriptive without feeling overwhelming. Our MMC is a man for his woman, which I LOVED, no brooding about him. And she’s a badass. Thank you so much to the author for this eARC!!

Thank you, Dakoda Mazzii, for the ARC opportunity!
Took me a minute to get into it, but once it got started, I was sucked in. Our FMC is fierce, strong, and independent, and our MC is sweet, strong, and patient. There isn't much world building, but it's pretty character focused, so I didn't mind.
Does end on a cliffy. I cannot wait to read what happens next!

I absolutely loved this book. Patiently waiting for Book 2. I loved the dream aspect in this novel. This is Dakoda Mazzii debut novel. Our FMC is the last Dream Walker. Aida and Tyran have an interesting past. You get pulled in from prologue. Neither MC truly knows who Aida is. Or what she truly means to the future of Astarian. I have theories on the parts side characters will play in the future.
Highly recommend this novel.

When I signed up for an advanced reader, copy, I wasn’t sure of what to expect, and BOY was I pleasantly surprised !!!from the very beginning of the book; Aida’s dreamworld drew me in. The premise of the plot was well written and descriptive. Despite the book having MOV’s it was simple to follow. The slow burn/ yearning between Aida and Tyran; had you cheering in their corner.Ravn; childhood basically had me sobbing. All the characters along Aida and Tyran journey; complement the story well.
The cliffhanger ending had me pondering on what may transpire next.
Tropes:
Dark fantasy
Dreamwalker
Gods
Fallen angel
Oppressive regime
Slow burn
Magic
Prophecy……
