Description

Kua, a reluctant shaman, cursed with the other-sight that allows her to see the monstrous powers ruling her world, is trying to defend her family from the Tupilak – a soul-stealer and a body-devourer. Meanwhile, as a cruise ship is pushing deeper into the beauty and terror of the North, Oleg, a tech entrepreneur, is beginning to see the same visions that drove his late wife to madness and suicide…

Praise for Dreaming the Dark:

Written with an impressive focus, this is nicely atmospheric fantasy with an unusual focus. // The story is by turns hallucinatory, horrific and magical. The plot turns over neatly and briskly and the imagined world of the novel stays with you when you’re done. — Adam Roberts, author of Salt, winner of the BSFA Best Novel award, multiple Clark award nominee
