The Dreamwright’s War (The Dreamborn Cycle Book 2)

In the city of Halcyon, dreams are no longer sacred—they’re currency.The Dreamwright Guild controls them all, taxing every vision, selling every fantasy, and erasing anyone who dares to dream for free.Until one night, a low-born dreamer named Lyra Vale awakens to a truth she was never meant to know: she can dream without permission.Hunted by the Guild and haunted by visions of a world built on illusions, Lyra joins a quiet rebellion of outcasts, hackers, and exiled architects. Together they fight to shatter the economy of sleep and awaken a city addicted to control. But when a dying god of dreams begins to stir beneath the ruins, Lyra must face the truth about her own power—and decide whether freedom is worth the cost of waking the world.From the ashes of obedience rises a war fought not with weapons, but with wonder.Every dream has a price. Every rebellion begins with one that doesn’t.The Dreamwright’s War is a lush, cinematic blend of epic fantasy and speculative rebellion, perfect for readers of V.E. Schwab, Samantha Shannon, and Neil Gaiman.A story of identity, creation, and the courage to reimagine the world—even when it fights back.
