Amari and the Night Brothers meets Pokémon in this thrilling start to Graci Kim´s brand-new fantasy series where dragons and phoenixes roam the skies of Seoul; meals magically appear based on your mood; and dreams literally come to life Fourteen-year-old Aria Loveridge lives at the Resthaven Home for Dreamslingers, a safe haven for children born with a genetic mutation that transports them to a powerfully magical realm while they sleep. But this magic can be unpredictable-even deadly. After all, it was only ten years ago when members of the Royal League of Dreamslingers caused the Great Outburst-a tragedy that killed hundreds of people, including Aria´s mom. Since then, Aria´s dad has become leading expert on Dreamslinger Welfare, which means Aria knows better than most what it takes to keep society safe from her, and others like her: separation, identification, and most importantly, power suppression. So when the Kingdom of Royal Hanguk-home of the Dreamslinger League-announces the first Dreamslinger trials where teenage slingers from around the world are invited to compete for a chance to join the League and learn how to use their powers, Aria knows what she must do: join the trials and take down the League from the inside. But the Trials introduce Aria to a world of wonderous magic and friendship, a world where she finally feels like she belongs. And as dark secrets from the past are revealed-ones that make Aria question her very identity-she becomes even more determined to discover the truth for herself. She just has to survive the trials first.
