NIGHTSTRIDER

Sophia Slade

A stunning new voice in fantasy, comes a lush, dark tale about a world split in two and the four misguided souls who must come together save it. Hailed as The Cruel Prince meets The Sandman, NIGHTSTRIDER is a story that dark fantasy fans will not want to miss!

Wren is a nightmare; a deadly creature forged from the harrowing dreams of those in the waking world. She is forever bound to the whims of a night terror, the Lord of the Reverie Para Warwick, but grows weary of her role as his assassin and culler of the rebellion. When she fails to retrieve information on a weapon that could end Warwick's reign and is severely punished, she makes a snap decision to aid the rebellion in finding it though it means her life is forfeit. Here, she meets Alaric, a nightmare hellbent on atoning for his sins, and together they embark on a mission to prevent a cataclysm the likes of which the Reverie has never seen. The waking world is no better off. Prince Caine Fallon, son of the unforgiving King Warwick of Wolfhelm, prepares to wed Ila Enevoldson, the young queen from the kingdom of Galesborough. But Ila is more than she seems: She is a weaver, a protector of the ancient Boundary that separates the Reverie and the Wake, and she has lost a precious weapon entrusted to her. She will do anything to retrieve it, including agreeing to an engagement with the son of her sworn enemy. When Caine catches Ila opening a portal to the dream realm beneath the castle and follows her through, he finds himself in a universe stranger than he could have imagined, where his father is more monstrous than he could have fathomed. Their destinies collide with those of two lethal nightmares, and they are forced to band together to stop a vicious dictatorand prevent the very fabric of reality from unravelling.
