A Warrior of Dreams

Orphaned when her city fell to a fanatical Empire, Joslyn is barely scratching out a life on the streets of Ly Ossia, constantly dodging Imperial Watchers and scrambling to steal enough to eat. When she's recruited into the Temple of Somna the Creator as an oracular Dreamer, Joslyn thinks she's scored the greatest treasure of all - comfort and safety for the rest of her life. That pleasant illusion is shattered when a strange man comes to the Temple requesting an oracle - a man whose nightsoul, that part of him that is capable of entering dream, is missing. Once Joslyn discovers this terrible fact, suddenly everyone in the Temple, including the kindly Dream Master, wants her dead. Far from being an isolated, individual tragedy, the stranger's missing nightsoul is the key to a conspiracy of literally cosmic proportions.

Rescued by the man who now calls himself Ghost, Joslyn goes on the run in a desperate search to find the missing piece of Ghost's soul, the part of him that knows what the Temple priests are planning and how to stop it - before the goddess Somna's dream that is the world comes to an abrupt and permanent end.
