The Dream Traveller: Dark Rising

Book one from The Dream Traveller Series

Girvyn is unaware he possesses a unique gift: he can enter people's dreams, identifying him as a Dream Traveller. 

Girvyn aspires to follow in his uncle’s scholarly footsteps. Yet, his future veers off course when a dream entangles his fate with a forest tribe ravaged by demons, led by the rogue Traveller, Crane. Crane has long schemed to merge his nightmarish realm with the Waking world, a plan exposed by a lone survivor's harrowing tale. Crane's vulnerability lies in his physical form; destroying it would disperse his demonic legions. While some advocate for a global military alliance against him, others see hope in young Girvyn, who controls a mysterious and deadly gateway. 

However, his uncle Laglen fears Girvyn is not prepared for such a grave role. Girvyn must master his emerging abilities to navigate a destiny that binds him to an epic struggle between dreams and reality. 

With the world teetering on collapse, can Queen Amelia of Rathnell and her sworn protector, Elaya Faith, persuade other nations to join forces to assault Crane’s northern fortress, or will the fate of the waking world rest on the shoulders of a young scholar?
