Dreamhunter Elizabeth Knox

Book One of the Dreamhunter duet. A new book from a highly original and talented author. A rich novel filled with beauty, danger, politics, and intrigue. Fast-paced and dazzlingly imaginative, Dreamhunter will draw the listener into an extraordinary fictional world in which dreams are as vividly described as the cream cakes in the tea shop, the sand on the beach or teenage first love. Set in 1906, Dreamhunter describes a world very similar to ours, except for a special place, known simply as The Place, where only a select group of people can go. These people are called Dreamhunters and they harvest dreams which are then transmitted to the general public for the purposes of entertainment, therapy - or terror and political coercion. Fifteen-year-old cousins Laura Hame and Rose Tiebold both come from famous dreamhunting families, but only Laura proves to be blessed with the gift and once inside The Place she finds out what happened to her missing dreamhunter father and reveals how the government has used dreams to control an ever-growing population of convicts and political dissenters. 'Captivating ... Dreamhunter is an example of great writing ... Compelling, highly original ...'
