Sixteen-year-old Thana sleeps in graveyards and crafts dreams for those who want them. She can create visions so vivid and detailed that they could be real. For the inhabitants of the sleepy town nearby, Thana's dreams are like drugs. When the Graveyard Festival appears in her cemetery in the middle of the night, Thana meets Jonathan, a mysterious boy with tattoos he can bring to life. By sunrise, Thana is a member of the traveling carnival that moves from cemetery to cemetery. Her dream-crafting abilities do what the Festival does best: catering to every whimsical fancy its visitors have. But the Graveyard Festival isn't just a carnival--its members guard the gates to the land of the dead, and something has gotten past them. Jonathan believes Thana is the key to returning the demon back to where it belongs, but as her dreams turn to nightmares that come to life, Thana can't control her devilish creations. Something is within her, and it's dying to get out.

**** From the 2016 Watty Award winning author of White Fire**** Burst into this fantasy fairytale and journey to the land of Noch where everyone is born with a soul gift. Some are born with extraordinary visions, others with speed or strength. The greater the gift, the greater the ranking will be in the kingdom. But this isn't true for Sun, who is born with the rare gift of beauty. From birth, a prophecy was placed on her life, that her beauty will cause two princes to turn against each other as they fall in love with her. This brotherly rivalry will only be the beginning of the great war that will sweep across the land. To prevent this, Sun's father hides her away in a deep forest, hoping to prevent the worse from happening. That is, until Sun is spotted in the village and word spreads of her existence. All over the kingdom, people whisper about the "Beautiful One" until it reaches the King. He sends his knights to fetch Sun and bring her to the castle, where he will examine her gift and give her rank within his kingdom. And when all catches sight of her beauty, all will bow down in awe. Sun does everything in her power to avoid the King's two sons, Crow and Christian, but can't seem to escape the pull of their lure. Christian is charm and Crow is war, and both men are devastatingly handsome. They are both also willing to kill each other to gain her hand. When true love begins to bud like the rarest rose, Sun's heart is torn in half. The prophesy of the two brothers is unfolding, but if choosing one prince over the other means destroying her kingdom, Sun would rather disappear than face the consequences.
