The Dream Defenders: A #YA #Fantasy Novel by Neal DenHartog

The Dream Defenders 

by Neal DenHartog

Genre: YA Fantasy

A vivid, dangerous dream world. Real-life consequences. Better ready

your defense.

When fourteen-year-old Nolan Erling wakes up with a headache for the

fourth straight day, he suspects the likely culprit to be any number

of things—from his annoying baby brother, to vehicular crashes with

his elderly neighbor, or even his questionable late-night food

choices—not his dreams.

Aeryn Sandman knows the true cause, though. She is a junior agent with the

DREAM Institute, a secret organization tasked with protecting the

world’s population while they sleep, and she’s on her first assignment.

Her mission: infiltrate Nolan’s life—and his dreams—and keep him

safe, all while persuading him to join their protective force.

But recruitment missions are no walk in the park, and Aeryn’s goes

horribly wrong when Nolan’s powers unwittingly unleash two dream

creatures locked away in a restricted area of the dream world. While

Aeryn and Nolan search for ways to contain the escaped beings, they

uncover a much greater conspiracy.

For these dreams can kill, and someone is orchestrating their actions in

the dream world. If Aeryn and Nolan can’t figure out who is behind

it, no dreamer will be safe, and neither will the organization that

defends them.

Discover a book with a fresh voice, genuinely humorous characters, and a

compelling, original storyline. The Dream Defenders will

appeal to readers of all ages.

Stephanie Mirro's lifelong love of ancient mythology led to majoring in the

Classics in college, which wasn't quite as much fun as writing her

own mythology stories as she did as a child. But that education,

combined with an overactive imagination and being an avid fantasy

reader, resulted in a writing career.

Starting her days with coffee and ending them with wine means Stephanie can

usually be found juggling household chores, keeping the kids alive,

and trying to write, edit, publish, and market the stories that haunt

her dreams.

Born and raised in Southern Arizona, Stephanie now resides in Northern

Virginia with her husband, two kids, and two furbabies. This thing

called "seasons" is still magical.
