But when the beloved king dies, his son has no respect for this time-honored tradition. King Alcan wants an opportunity to bring the Dreamers to a permanent end--an opportunity Indir will give him if he discovers the two secrets she is struggling to keep. As violent change shakes Indir's world to its core, she is forced to make an impossible choice: fight for her home or fight to survive. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eSaya is a seer, but not a Dreamer--she has never been formally trained. Her mother exploits her daughter's gift, passing it off as her own as they travel from village to village, never staying in one place too long. Almost as if they're running from something. Almost as if they're being hunted. When Saya loses the necklace she's worn since birth, she discovers that seeing isn't her only gift--and begins to suspect that everything she knows about her life has been a carefully-constructed lie. As she comes to distrust the only family she's ever known, Saya will do what she's never done before, go where she's never been, and risk it all in the search of answers. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eWith a detailed, supernaturally-charged setting and topical themes of patriarchal power and female strength, Lizz Huerta's \u003ci\u003eThe Lost Dreamer \u003c\/i\u003ebrings an ancient world to life, mirroring the challenges of our modern one.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eLizz Huerta \u003c\/b\u003eis a widely-admired Mexi-Rican short story writer and essayist, published in \u003ci\u003eLightspeed\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eThe Cut\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eThe Portland Review\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eThe Rumpus\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eMiami Rail\u003c\/i\u003e, and more.
