Elara and the Dream Tower is a luminous, atmospheric fantasy adventure from Viktoryia Konan - a tale of courage, memory, and the quiet magic of dreams.
Ten-year-old Elara lives hidden in the tallest tower the world almost forgot. Guarded by three dragons and surrounded by sleeping dreams, she serves as the last Keeper of Dreams - the protector of children's sleep across the world. Every night, she sends dream-lights into the night sky, comforting frightened sleepers and shielding their imaginations from the creeping silence beyond the trees.
But when a strange shadow appears in the mist and a dream begins to unravel, Elara realizes the balance is breaking. The Watchers - ancient beings lost to memory - are stirring again. Not to steal dreams, but to reach for something deeper: Elara herself.
To save the dreams of the world, Elara must step beyond the tower's safety for the first time in a thousand years. Together with her dragons - fiery Flint, quiet Whisp, and melodic Glim - she journeys through forgotten forests, fields of stone-children, and villages lost to silence. Along the way, she discovers children like herself who were once trapped in dreamless slumber, and she learns that even the Watchers are not beyond redemption.
As Elara rekindles the first dreamlight at the heart of the world, her own story begins to shimmer with new meaning - one of legacy, empathy, and a girl who sings the stars awake. But in a world where memory is fragile and forgetting is a kind of magic, holding onto hope becomes the greatest challenge of all.
Elara and the Dream Tower is perfect for readers who love lyrical fantasy, strong but gentle heroines, and stories where courage comes in whispers, not shouts. Ideal for fans of The Girl Who Drank the Moon, Coraline, and Howl's Moving Castle, this is a tale for all ages - timeless, mysterious, and full of heart.
Discover a world where dreams are real, dragons hum lullabies, and one girl dares to remember what the world chose to forget.
