Lucid

DREAMS CAN COME TRUE. BUT SO CAN NIGHTMARES...
From a spellbinding debut voice comes a gripping urban fantasy, set in the heart of a near-future Birmingham. Perfect for fans of Ready Player One and Ben Aaronovitch!

Joseph Jacobs is just an ordinary teenager - he goes to university, skateboards, stays out of trouble. But when he skates past a crime scene which matches a dream he can't forget, everything he once knew to be true begins to unravel.
On his birthday, a strange gift arrives: a dreamcatcher that hums with otherworldly energy. The only clue? An eerie inscription: 'We Are Such Stuff As Dreams Are Made On'.
No sender. No explanation. Only questions.
As his dreams grow darker - and realer - Joseph is pulled into a hidden world where the lines between reality and illusion are blurred. Shadows move with purpose. Time twists. Something is coming. Something ancient... and hungry.
Now, Joseph must unlock the truth behind his visions - before they consume him. For his dreams are changing. And they're not just his anymore...
