Dreamers: The Gifted Series (Book 1)
For seven years, half of Rainan’s life, the Emperor has scoured the desert for the Abed children that survived the war over water. If captured, they’re taken to the City and never heard from again. Rainan uses her Dreams to find hidden water beneath the sand to keep her family, the other young survivors, alive.
During a midnight raid on the City’s food supply, Rainan’s worst fear is realized. Young Joel is caught by the Emperor’s soldiers. Rainan must make a choice. She can surrender her family to Joshua, an enigmatic Abed who has established Elior, a secret underground city harboring hundreds of gifted Abed children, or she can strike out on her own for the City, where the Nas rule and the Abed are hated, to find Joel. Either way, she can no longer deny the power of her gifting.
One choice brings war, the other, death. In the midst of her struggle, Rainan begins to understand that her Dreams, and the other mysterious giftings the Abed children possess, are more than just a means of survival. Rainan must use her Dreams, wits and the help of those around her, both Abed and Nas, to either save or destroy both peoples.
The choice is hers, but the consequences will shake the Nations.
