What to expect
The heart-pounding sequel to the epic gods-and-monsters fantasy The Sleepless by award-winning author Jen Williams.
Fans have fallen in love with The Sleepless...
'Fast paced and full of magic and monsters . . . I couldn't stop'
'I absolutely adored this story, the world building was phenomenal'
'A beautifully written fantasy YA story that had me hooked from being to end'
Now get ready for even higher stakes, a love triangle that defies fate, and a quest that will test Elver, Artair and Lucian like never before in The Dreamless . . .
The world has changed. There are new gods roaming the earth, and Lucian and Artair, two souls forced to share one body, are prime targets for their wrath.
Between them both is Elver: a monster girl caught between the humanity that Artair brought back into her life, and the strange obsession that Lucian stirs within her. But she is no longer the girl that she was when they first met. Elver has been changed, too - in ways more terrifying than even she can imagine.
There is treachery at work in their midst, and as the world teeters on the edge of chaos and devastation, the battle lines must be drawn before it's too late.
Critics Review
-
The Sleepless is a fresh, vibrant, uniquely compelling read filled with fascinating characters in a beautifully intricate world that I couldn't get enough of. I could not put it down.
Abigail Owen, #1 NYT bestselling author of The Games Gods Play
-
Williams brilliantly weaves the tale of a monster girl, a possessed boy and the evil spirit that inhabits him, and I adored everything about this intricate, absorbing fantasy. Perfect for fans of Leigh Bardugo and Lauren Roberts, readers will adore this vivid, enchanting fantasy filled with treacherous alliances, dangerous monsters, and ancient magic. A must read!
Emily Varga, internationally bestselling author of For She is Wrath on The Sleepless
-
Williams’ monstrously enjoyable imagination is on full show here. An enormously entertaining and original work of fantasy.
Adrian Tchaikovsky, award-winning author of Children of Time
