About this book

When Mimi Malou’s parents betrayed the Citadel, her Aunt Moyna took her in and treated her as if she were her own child.  

The Citadel deals in dreams and Mimi is a dream hunter. She rescues forgotten dreams and turns them into healing potions, which are stored in the Library of Forgotten Dreams where her aunt is Head Librarian. Of course, Mimi still has a lot to learn but she is determined to prove herself and wipe away the stain of her parents’ treachery. 

When a series of odd events, overheard conversations, and rumours from beyond the walls of the Citadel begin to paint a picture of fresh duplicity and a threat to her community, Mimi knows she has to act. But is she brave, clever and adventurous enough to travel across India and expose the traitors?    

In an impressively imagined alternative India, a complex system of magic and ancient power whirls around engaging characters (both human and animal) to create an intricate web of plotting and deceit. 

This is a story to keep readers guessing and will appeal to anyone who enjoys an immersive, original reading experience.
