trilogy.
Sarai
has
lived
and
breathed
nightmares
since
she
was
six
years
old.
She
believed
she
knew
every
horror,
and
was
beyond

She

wrong.
In

neither

who
they
were
before.
One
a
god,
the
other
a
ghost,
they
struggle
to
grasp
the
new
boundaries
of
their
selves
as
dark-minded
Minya
holds
them
hostage,
intent
on
vengeance
against
Weep.
Lazlo
faces
an
unthinkable
choice--save
the
woman
he
loves,
oreveryone
else?--while
Sarai
feels
more
helpless
than
ever.
But
is
she?
Sometimes,
only
the
direst
need
can
teach
us
our
own
depths,
and
Sarai,
the
muse
of
nightmares,
has
not
yet
discovered
what
she's
capable
of.
As
humans
and
godspawn
reel
in
the
aftermath
of
the
citadel's
near
fall,
a
new
foe
shatters
their
fragile
hopes,
and
the
mysteries
of
the
Mesarthim
are
resurrected:
Where
did
the
gods
come
from,
and
why?
What
was
done
with
thousands
of
children
born
in
the
citadel
nursery?
And
most
important
of
all,
as
forgotten
doors
are
opened
and
new
worlds
revealed:
Must
heroes
always
slay
monsters,
or
is
it
possible
tosavethem
instead?
Love
and
hate,
revenge
and
redemption,
destruction
and
salvation
all
clash
in
this
gorgeous
sequel
to
theNew

Descriere
Descriere de la o altă ediție sau format:
Parents need to know that Muse of Nightmares is the sequel to the absorbing best-selling fantasy Strange the Dreamer. As with the first book, this mature story is best for high school readers ready for difficult subject matter. Trauma over past rapes and murders dominates Muse of Nightmares, and some characters are so overcome with trauma that they seek out vengeful violence. They attempt to destroy whole towns and teams of soldiers with an army of ghosts and magical powers. One bloody scene shows two characters impaled over and over again. Characters are imprisoned and nearly choked to death, two others are drowned, and a character jumps to death out of grief. A woman remembers being hit and verbally abused by her stepmother and then sold by her father to an old man when she was just a teen. Readers of Strange the Dreamer already know that, less than two decades before that story began, girls had been taken from their homes, raped, forced have children, and then sent home again with their minds wiped of their memories. They also know about the babies murdered in the nursery. One character relives this scene over and over again in her nightmares. Sexual content is also mature: Main characters share beds naked, with descriptions of touching and talk of doing more intimate things in dreams. Older characters have sex, but it's not described. The main character, Sarai, tries to help characters grapple with their trauma. She finds there is no easy path back to a sense of peace.
