Winding your way through a jungle, you take in the intoxicating atmosphere and muse on the magical properties of the flower you seek. When at last you come to the end of the river, you face a test to determine whether you are worthy to achieve the lotus. Sleep & Sorcery is a folklore and fantasy-inspired sleep series. Step across the threshold into a world of myth and magic, where you can safely drift off into a deep and comfortable sleep. Sleep & Sorcery is one part bedtime story, one part guided meditation, and one part dreamy adventure.
