In the City of Nightmares, one haunted girl is taking back more than just her dreams. In a drowned city on the edge of the sea lives a girl in a tower. Cole is nobody. One more haunted drone among the grey, spiritless masses. She knows better than to dream of a better life. But death doesn't care about good intentions. "It was the dead man's expression that drew me . . ." First, there's the rebellious ghost who won't stop pestering her. Then, a mesmerizing, golden-eyed stranger with a dangerously tempting proposition. And to cap it all off, a shattered corpse that sends her spiralling into the middle of a deadly conspiracy. That's just day one. "I call upon the Mara . . ." Cole's life is over if she can't outrun the enforcers, outsmart the monsters, and take back her story from those who would make it their own. Her quest for truth, vengeance, and a life worth living races from the dizzying dystopian heights to the dazzling carnivalesque depths of her nightmare-infested tower. But can she reclaim her broken city—and threadwitch’s touch—in time to avoid a bloody end? She's about to become their worst nightmare. _______ An award-winning series starter for fans of V.E. Schwab and Kendare Blake who love post-climate-collapse dystopias, monsters-and-magic urban fantasy, and genre-bending gothic dark fantasy with messy and morally grey characters, ghosts, and an ecopunk twist. This fifth-anniversary edition ebook features a new, series-tie-in cover and a bonus prologue. Recommended for ages 14+. Buy this "beautiful labyrinth of a tale" today!

Enter the City of Nightmares

Blind the Eyes

A Paranormal Dystopian-Gothic YA Dark Fantasy

What happens when you release the hero within—and she's a stranger? "I'm stuck in a loop, trying not to look at the ghost of a girl with golden curls and hazel eyes..." When a series of eerily haunting dreams drives Cole back into battle too soon, the power she's only just learned to wield fails to show up for the fight. Dreamwalker and childhood friend Ash claims a trip to her long-forgotten homeland in the mountains will help her reclaim her missing magic and hard-won sense of purpose. But the last thing she wants to do is waste days trekking through the monster-infested wilderness with nothing but a snarky ghost and a boy who's made it his life's mission to save a dead girl. "The last guy who wanted me to trust him tried to sacrifice me to the Mara . . ." Cole's hesitation doesn't stop Ash from spiriting her across sea-monster-ridden waters to the terrifyingly twisted lands beyond, leaving her broken yet beloved city without protection. If she can't reclaim her past and restore her connection to the dreamscape before it's too late, her newfound friends won't be the only ones to pay the price. But more than just monsters stand in her way—and this time, taking back the power to stop them might just break her. Black the Tides is the second book in a lush and labyrinthine trilogy of paranormal-meets-gothic-dystopian YA fantasy filled with monster-infested mountains, haunted forests, and unexpected twists for those who like a little sparkle with their monsters (it glistens so nicely on all the blood.) Fans of cinematic solarpunk utopian planning, dark Northern Gothic forests, and monster-hunting road trips will love this genre-bending dark fantasy with a devastating cliffhanger twist.

But in my hurry to take revenge against our oppressors and cement my hard-won position as hero of the city, I must have dived back in too soon . . . because the magic I've only just learned to wield fails to show up for the fight. And if that's not bad enough, it doesn't seem to be coming back. Ash straight-up kidnaps me to keep me from trying to fight again. He claims the dreamwalkers of Nine Peaks will be able to help me. Too bad the homeland I no longer remember can only be reached by a journey of days, maybe even weeks, across monster-infested wilderness. If I can't restore my connection to the dreamscape before it's too late, my newfound friends won't be the only ones to pay the price.

In the City of Nightmares, death is far from the end. But there's only so much a girl can take. Losing her magic was one thing, but getting bodyjacked by the ghost of her past self? That’s a whole new low for teenage dreamweaver Cole. And when sea monsters shipwreck her hard-won backup, there’s only one hope left. But sacrificing the life of a child is too great a price to pay, even to save her friends and her city. As her pool of allies shrinks and resistance mounts, Cole fights to hold back the monsters at the cost of her own rapidly draining life force. Can she bring herself to destroy her bodysnatching young frenemy for good before everyone she loves goes up in flames? In this explosive conclusion to the award-winning, dystopian-gothic paranormal YA Dark Fantasy Threads of Dreams trilogy, the spark of revolution is lit—and even a drowned city can burn.
