Sixteen-year-old Starsha is a dreamer in a world where female dreamers are feared, hunted, and destroyed. When an angry mob burns down Starsha’s home, her mother’s final words haunt her. She must flee with her baby brother, Pinay, to a cottage in the forest, where she is safe until her hiding place becomes more dangerous than the field of battle.
Starsha is hiding more than her brother—she’s been chosen to fulfill an ancient When the Moon is in the day sky in the Valley of Thunder, the dreamer will rise on wings of power and reclaim dominion. Her power is tested when Pinay is abducted by Garthazor’s men.
Nothing will stop Starsha from embarking on the perilous journey to rescue her brother. In her quest, she encounters an angry dragon, a benevolent and magical grandmother, and an attacker linked to her mother’s death.
With an army amassed against her and the powers of mutated magic threatening her destruction, Starsha must summon all her courage to claim the promised legacy and save her brother.

This story was an easy read but felt very surface level. I was also often left wanting on scene descriptions, wondering how things happened. The social heirarchy/politics was not explained well (though maybe this was better explained later on). I felt like almost 30% of the way through a fantasy book, I should have a better grasp on the world than I did. This book was very simplistic and was an easy read, I got to the point I did pretty fast. I did not enjoy this book, but some readers may find it a nice fast read.
