A book unlocking her imagination.
A world of infinite possibilities.
A darkness in her own mind.
Inspired by the new girl in her class, discreet 17-year-old Evelyn finds a book giving her the ability to enter a world in her own mind. By simply concentrating, Evelyn learns to access this lush land of untouched nature where she can create things out of thin air and even defy gravity. But she isn’t alone. Other fantastical people live there, in the world they call the Alter. Exhilarated as she trains with them to use and expand her powers, Evelyn spends more and more time in the utopian world while her mundane life fades to the background.
But everything changes when Evelyn’s demonic alter ego, Solyce, appears. Consumed by inexplicable rage, Solyce has one goal: to burn the Alter down and torture Evelyn until she gives in. She distorts Evelyn’s reality with psychological games and hallucinations until Evelyn is unable to tell reality from fantasy. To stop Solyce, Evelyn must gather the strength to stand and fight her own darkness, or give in to the pain and sacrifice herself.
DREAMING is a YA contemporary fantasy, complete at 78,000 words. It would appeal to fans of The Neverending Story and The Weight of Zero.
