Sixteen-year-old Ashlyn Threadneedle lives a double life. By day, she works a tedious job as a government messenger for Lord Whitaker in an alternate nineteenth-century London. But by night, she escapes. Ashlyn plunges into vivid, lucid dreams, navigating the Stream - a mystical dreamworld where time bends and the only limit is her imagination. When her long-dead mother appears in a dream, everything Ashlyn thought she knew is turned on its head, and the future of her loved ones hangs in the balance. Drawn into a dangerous quest for answers, she joins a secret society of lucid dreamers. Together with her best friend Dimitri - an underground journalist fighting for the people - she must fight to protect the Stream from a powerful enemy who wants to manipulate thoughts and seize control of the waking world. But the Stream is a perilous place. To save the freedom of thought itself, Ashlyn must risk both her past and her future.
