NIGHTTIME DECLARED! Continuing his quest to find the Myrthali, the essence of time itself, Krish travels to the world of KnockThrice – an endless city where no one dreams. NightTime has been declared, the stars turned out and the bone-white sentinels deployed. It’s the one night of the year the dream-pedlars can ply their trade, which is lucky as the only way to open the safe containing the Myrthali is to solve puzzles hidden within three rare dreams. With the help of a girl who can feel one hour into the future, and a thief of shadows (and perhaps an old friend too), Krish will embark on a heart-racing adventure through the perilous city. But Krish and his friends aren’t the only ones eager to open the safe, as they become aware that a band of ruthless mercenaries are on their tail.
