The Sign of the Raven By Pippa Dunn (Hardback)

In this teen historical fantasy set in nineteenth-century London, the boundary between sleep and the waking world begins to dissolve, forcing one audacious dreamer to face a reality more dangerous than any nightmare.

Sixteen-year-old Ashlyn Threadneedle lives a double life.

By day, she works a tedious job as a government messenger for Lord Whitaker in an alternate nineteenth-century London.

But by night, she escapes.

Ashlyn plunges into vivid, lucid dreams, navigating the Stream - a mystical dreamworld where time bends and the only limit is her imagination.

When her long-dead mother appears in a dream, everything Ashlyn thought she knew is turned on its head, and the future of her loved ones hangs in the balance. Drawn into a dangerous quest for answers, she joins a secret society of lucid dreamers.

Together with her best friend Dimitri - an underground journalist fighting for the people - she must fight to protect the Stream from a powerful enemy who wants to manipulate thoughts and seize control of the waking world.

But the Stream is a perilous place. To save the freedom of thought itself, Ashlyn must risk both her past and her future.
