The Dream Runners
Abducted from the mortal world at age ten, Tanvi was spirited away to the kingdom of Nagalok to serve its dream-eating, serpentine naga. Along with other captive mortals, Tanvi, now seventeen, emerges from Nagalok's subterranean realm each night to harvest dreams from sleeping humans, delivering them to the naga dream broker Lord Nayan and his mortal apprentice Venkat. As a dream runner, Tanvi's memories of her previous life have been erased, until a harvest gone wrong recalls disturbing images of her past. Panicked and confused, she turns to Venkat, the dreamsmith who shapes the runners' harvests into the kingdom's most tantalizing commodity. Together they search for answers, and a terrifying truth begins to take shape, one that could turn the naga's realm of dreams into a land of waking nightmare.
