Wakers Michaela Hoffman

Lava Rowe-Darkus is a Waker: a person who, on the brink of sleep, Rises in a dreamlike reality; Nightworld is a sunless, bioluminescent plane that is led by five territory rulers. When Lava Awakens there, she discovers that she is a Guardian charged with saving the Waker people. There is a mysterious corruptive force that threatens not only their freedom, but their lives. Meanwhile in Reality, Lava is a graduate student facing her own battles. Haunted by the memories of her missing father and sister, she struggles to cope while moving forward in her life. But as Lava spends more time in Nightworld, it becomes clear that she can't hide from her past in either reality state. Can Lava find out the truth behind the disappearances in her family? Or will she lose herself in a dream world?
