Glimpses of the Dreamwood - Paperback

by Brian Ligouri (Author)

Under siege from those who reject peace, Nova City has collapsed into chaos. Bombers own the skies above. Streets have collapsed into rubble and smoke, and constant enemy probes threaten to dismantle anything still standing. Survivors huddle together in subway tunnels turned bunkers, enduring long nights and sudden raids as they fight for survival. Eleven-year-old Elias carries more than a child ever should. With the world collapsing, he shoulders the responsibility of keeping his younger sister, Mira, safe. Not just from the war raging all around them, but from the fear and uncertainty threatening to steal her innocence. He creates the one place they can be free, a quiet forest where noise fades into nature's beauty and the war loses its stranglehold. Beneath the towering trees of the Dreamwood, the world feels whole again, if only for a little while. But even the safest refuge cannot remain untouched from the dangers of a world at war. A haunting story of childhood trauma, survivor's guilt, suppression, anxiety, and the fight to overcome it all while the world burns and threatens to consume everything he loves.
