Laura comes from a world similar to our own except for one

difference: it is next to the Place, an unfathomable land that

fosters dreams of every kind and is inaccessible to all but a

select few, the Dreamhunters. These are individuals with special

gifts: the ability to catch larger-than-life dreams and relay them

to audiences in the magnificent dream palace, the Rainbow

Opera. People travel from all around to experience the benefits

of the hunters' unique visions. Now fifteen-year-old Laura and

her cousin Rose, daughters of Dreamhunters, are eligible to test

themselves at the Place and find out whether they qualify for

the passage. But nothing can prepare them for what they are

about to discover. For within the Place lies a horrific secret kept

hidden by corrupt members of the government. And when

Laura's father, the man who discovered the Place, disappears,

she realizes that this secret has the power to destroy everyone

she loves . . . In the midst of a fascinating landscape, Laura's dreamy

childhood is ending and a nightmare beginning. This rich

novel, filled with beauty, danger, politics, and intrigue, comes to

a powerful crescendo, leaving readers clamoring for Book Two.
