From Goodreads:
A high-concept, fantastical espionage novel set in a world where dreams are the ultimate form of political intelligence.
Livia is a dreamstrider. She can inhabit a subject's body while they are sleeping and, for a short time, move around in their skin. She uses her talent to work as a spy for the Barstadt Empire. But her partner, Brandt, has lately become distant, and when Marez comes to join their team from a neighborhing kingdom, he offers Livia the option of a life she had never dared to imagine. Livia knows of no other dreamstriders who have survived the pull of Nightmare. So only she understands the stakes when a plot against the Empire emerges that threatens to consume both the dreaming world and the waking one with misery and rage.
A richly conceived world full of political intrigue and fantastical dream sequences, at its heart Dreamstrider is about a girl who is struggling to live up to the potential before her.
Fantasy plus espionage? Sign me up.
This sounds really interesting. I like the idea of Livia's ability, parts of it make me think if Inception, like the entering someone's dreams/mind parts. I'm really interested in what happens, what secrets are uncovered and discovered, and as always, how it ends.
This book sounds AMAZING and that cover is beyond gorgeous! I can't wait to read this! Great pick!
