Dreamwalkers: A YA Portal Fantasy

By D. M. Andrews

Experience a hopeful YA portal fantasy where your dreams become a superpower. Escape a lonely reality for a vibrant Renaissance Italy you can reshape with your mind-but wake up before the Architects' trap becomes your permanent reality.

Seventeen-year-old Cal is a master of the Dreamframe, a private sanctuary where he is no longer the lonely student dodging bullies, but the shaper of a breathtaking Florence. In the waking world, he is invisible; in his dreams, he can leap across rooftops and command the very air. The walls of his sanctuary crumble when Ash, a girl from his dreams, unexpectedly walks into his real-world classroom. Her presence reveals a terrifying truth: Cal's private world is a shared reality, and it is governed by a sinister 'Gonfalonier' serving the ancient 'Three Architects'.

As a mysterious sleeping sickness known as HF1 sweeps the globe, dreamers are being lured into the city and enslaved by grey-green elenktis bracelets-anchoring their minds to the dream while their physical bodies slip into permanent comas. When Ash is captured and 'braceleted', Cal must move from the shadows of his own mind to the front lines of a war for the human mind. To save her, he must choose to bind himself to the dream world to unlock the full potential of his lucid dreaming powers. The stakes aren't just survival; they are about reclaiming the power of imagination from those who would use it as a prison.

For fans of YA Portal Fantasy and high-stakes historical adventures. If you love the reality-bending 'chosen one' journey of The Matrix, the parkour-inspired action and atmosphere of Assassin's Creed, or the surreal wonder of Alice in Wonderland, your next adventure starts here.

Dreamwalkers can also be found on Amazon as a series of three novella ebooks.
