A lush tapestry of dreams, myth, and magic--perfect for fans of Holly Black, Roshani Chokshi, and Margaret Rogerson.
Seven years ago, Tanvi was spirited away to the subterranean realm of Nagalok, where she joined the ranks of the dream runners: human children freed of all memory and emotion, who collect mortal dreams for the entertainment of the serpentine, immortal naga court.
But when one of Tanvi's dream harvests goes awry, she begins to remember her life on earth. Panicked and confused, she turns to the one mortal in Nagalok who might be able to help: Venkat, the dreamsmith responsible for collecting the dream runners' wares and shaping them into the kingdom's most tantalizing commodity. And as they search for answers, a terrifying truth begins to take shape--one that could turn the nagas' realm of dreams into a land of waking nightmare.
From the author of the Indie Next selection and Andre Norton Award finalist Star Daughter, this stand-alone contemporary fantasy, inspired by the nagas and garudas of Hindu mythology, is full of slow-burning romance, haunting intrigue, and shimmering magic.
- A Standalone YA Fantasy: Perfect for readers who want a complete, lushly imagined story--no cliffhanger, no waiting for the next book.
- Intriguing World-Building: Explore Nagalok, a hidden subterranean realm where serpentine nagas feast on mortal dreams harvested by human children.
- Forced Amnesia and Lost Memories: After a botched job, dream runner Tanvi's carefully erased past begins to return, forcing her to question everything she knows about her life's work.
- A Slow-Burn Connection: As Tanvi seeks answers, she forms a reluctant alliance with Venkat, the only other mortal in Nagalok, and finds a connection that could be her salvation--or her downfall.
