"Waiting On" Wednesday is a weekly event, created by Breaking the Spine, that spotlights upcoming releases that we're eagerly anticipating.
This week I'm waiting on:
A high-concept, fantastical espionage novel set in a world where dreams are the ultimate form of political intelligence.
Livia
is a dreamstrider. She can inhabit a subject's body while they are
sleeping and, for a short time, move around in their skin. She uses her
talent to work as a spy for the Barstadt Empire. But her partner,
Brandt, has lately become distant, and when Marez comes to join their
team from a neighboring kingdom, he offers Livia the option of a life
she had never dared to imagine. Livia knows of no other dreamstriders
who have survived the pull of Nightmare. So only she understands the
stakes when a plot against the Empire emerges that threatens to consume
both the dreaming world and the waking one with misery and rage.
A
richly conceived world full of political intrigue and fantastical dream
sequences, at its heart Dreamstrider is about a girl who is struggling
to live up to the potential before her.
