THREAD OF DREAMS

---

Nova steals threads from human dreams, but when she visits a boy who is already dreaming of her, it’s her world that unravels.  

Nova harvests magical threads from human dreams to fight off the nightmares invading her sunless planet. But when she meets Arlo, a dreaming boy who is pulled into her world, she untangles a connection between humankind and her father’s mysterious death.  

Unlike her reserved society, Nova’s curiosity and emotions flicker like fire, and her thread magic only deepens her volatile nature as she and Arlo flee her cold people in search of answers. But the more Nova uncovers about her family, the more twisted her magic becomes—turning dreams to nightmare.  

Nova must channel her emotions and learn why their bloody past with Earth could be the remedy for their darkening land. But when her heart strings become entangled with Arlo’s, Nova will have to either cut ties with him, or the home her father fought so hard to save. If she fails, Nova will succumb to nightmares. If she succeeds, she and her people could be free to dream again. 

 THREAD OF DREAMS is an 87,000 YA Fantasy written with a second POV in verse. It has an atmospheric setting such as in Written in Starlight by Isabel Ibanez, similar themes and lyrical voice as in Dreams Lie Beneath by Rebecca Ross, and a sci-fi vibe like the Skyward Series by Brandon Sanderson.
