Mortal Dreams is a modern young adult fantasy novel that explores the rebellion of a race of half-human, half-faerie people from an evil faerie queen and a teen girl who finds herself in the prophetic center of their fight.
Myrna is a teenage faerie-human hybrid on the run from an evil queen and haunted by an ancient heritage of war, secrets, and a prophecy threatening to undo the queen’s power.
After a frightening encounter with Riona, the faerie queen herself, Myrna finds out the loving grandparents who raised her hid the truth of her identity to keep her safe from the queen and their family’s history of rebellion against her reign. Suddenly thrown into an unknown world of the Fae, Myrna learns that her family is the center of a prophesy that could free the faerie-hybrid people from the queen’s control.
Seeking allies to help her hide from Riona’s terror, Myrna finds Sam, a mortal who is hopelessly infatuated with her, Peter, a mysterious but frustratingly charming hybrid resistance soldier, and Kat, her spunky mortal roommate who is just trying to keep up with this strange new world.
When it comes to the queen’s weakness, it might not be Myrna or her clan who is at the center of it all, but an ally she’s not sure she can trust.
