The second book in the action-filled urban fantasy Dreamwalker trilogy follows Jessica Drake as she navigates the dangerous landscape of distant worlds and dimensions When Jessica Drake learned that her DNA didn't match that of her parents, she had no idea that the search for her heritage would put her family's lives in danger, or force her to cross into another world. In an alternate Earth dominated by individuals with unnatural powers called Gifts, Jessica learned that there was a curse within her blood, one so feared that all who possessed it were destroyed on sight. For she was a Dreamwalker, and the same dark Gift that would allow her to enter the dreams of others would eventually destroy her mind and spread insanity to all those around her. Now she is back with her family, but there is no peace to be found. Her childhood home has been destroyed, her mother's mind is irreparably damaged, and the Gift of the Dreamwalkers is beginning to manifest in her in terrifying ways. When a stranger invades her dreams and creatures from her nightmares threaten to cross into the waking universe, Jessica knows she must return to the alternate Earth where she was born and seek allies... even if doing so means she must bargain with those she fears the most. Dreamseeker is the gripping sequel to C.S. Friedman's Dreamwalker.
Industry Reviews
"Friedman skillfully blends science fiction and fantasy elements, tying them together with fairy tales and solid worldbuilding."--Publishers Weekly (for Dreamwalker) "Friedman does many things well in this novel, and her experience as an engaging storyteller is on full display.... Friedman shows that her writing and storytelling abilities are strong, regardless of what type of story she's telling."--Tor.com (for Dreamwalker) ""Dreamwalker" is nerve-twisting and fascinating. Siblings Jesse and Tommy are tangled in a murderous genetic bait-and-switch that transcends worlds and time.... Waiting for the next book will be tough!"--Tamora Pierce (for Dreamwalker) "[C.S. Friedman] writes bright, clear prose that can shine like gemstones or cut like broken glass. If you haven't read her work you need to do something about that right now."--Tad Williams (for Dreamwalker) "Once again, CS Friedman shows us strong characters and innovative magic that transcend genre. "Dreamwalker" is a satisfying read for long-time fans, but will also serve to showcase her work to a whole new generation."--Peter V. Brett (for Dreamwalker) "This is more mature, more serious, and a bit darker than I'm used to young adult books being, but that's also a huge reason why I loved it.... This might be the first young adult book I've ever read that absolutely captivated me."--Bookworm Blues (for Dreamwalker) "While everyone is taking about Joe Abercrombie, Brandon Sanderson, Patrick Rothfuss, and many others, C.
