**A lush, immersive debut fantasy about a group of women whose way of
life is threatened by a new king; a fierce celebration of community,
sisterhood, and finding our power.
**
Indir is a Dreamer, descended from a long line of seers; able to see
beyond reality, she carries the rare gift of Dreaming truth. But when
the beloved king dies, his son has no respect for this time-honored
tradition. King Alcan wants an opportunity to bring the Dreamers to a
permanent end--an opportunity Indir will give him if he discovers the
two secrets she is struggling to keep. As violent change shakes Indir's
world to its core, she is forced to make an impossible choice: fight for
her home or fight to survive.
Saya is a seer, but not a Dreamer--she has never been formally trained.
Her mother exploits her daughter's gift, passing it off as her own as
they travel from village to village, never staying in one place too
long. Almost as if they're running from something. Almost as if they're
being hunted. When Saya loses the necklace she's worn since birth, she
discovers that seeing isn't her only gift--and begins to suspect that
everything she knows about her life has been a carefully-constructed
lie. As she comes to distrust the only family she's ever known, Saya
will do what she's never done before, go where she's never been, and
risk it all in the search of answers.
With a detailed, supernaturally-charged setting and topical themes of
patriarchal power and female strength, Lizz Huerta's The Lost Dreamer
brings an ancient world to life, mirroring the challenges of our modern
one.
