About The Book:
Teenage Stella Grey has always felt an intense recurring sense of deja vu…often plagued by strong dreams that feel more real than her waking moments. One ill-fated morning, her dream from the night before actually comes to life, as she awakens and finds her house ransacked and her mother unconscious near their broken-in front door. Her next moments are scary, shocking, and earth-shattering as she is kidnapped and delivered to a Gothic mansion, The Manor de Raves.
Over the next few days Stella grapples with where she is and why she was taken. She is trapped by a cast of chilling characters forcing Stella and the other captured, unwilling “recruits” the “Dreamers,” to endlessly sleep while The Manor staff forcibly extract their dreams. Dreams that amazingly foretell the future.
Along the way Stella befriends two other Dreamers: Nina, a fiery girl who often refuses orders and her smart yet sheepish companion, Caleb. Stella even comes face to face with one of her own recurring dreams in Charlie, a boy whose blue eyes she has seen before and cannot help but be drawn to.
These four must navigate the eerie experiments the Manor forces upon them while concocting an escape. Their morality and grit are challenged as each of the foursome comes face to face with bizarre dreams that are painting terrifying pictures of the future. How will they ever live a normal life after discovering their powers and the evil The Manor perpetrates?
