Dreamhunter
Laura comes from a world similar to our own except for one difference: It is next to the Place, an unfathomable land that fosters dreams of every kind and is inaccessible to all but a select few, the dreamhunters. These are individuals with the ability to catch larger-than-life dreams and relay them to audiences in the magnificent dream palace. People travel from all around to experience the benefits of the hunters' unique visions.
Now, fifteen-year-old Laura and her cousin Rose, daughters of dreamhunters, are old enough to find out if they qualify to enter the Place. But nothing can prepare them for what they are about to discover. In the midst of a fascinating landscape, Laura's dreamy childhood is ending, and a nightmare is beginning.
This rich novel, filled with beauty, danger, politics, and intrigue, comes to a powerful crescendo, leaving readers clamoring for the conclusion in Book Two.

Set in 1906, Dreamhunter describes a world very similar to ours, except for a special place, known simply as The Place, a mysterious region filled with dreams of every kind. Only a select group of people can enter The Place: The Dreamhunters, men and women who are able to 'catch' the dreams and relay them to eager audiences in the magnificent dream palace, The Rainbow Opera.
Fifteen-year-old cousins Laura Hame and Rose Tiebold both come from famous dreamhunting families. Now, they are about to find out whether they, too, are part of this prestigious group of Dreamhunters. But nothing in their darkest nightmares can prepare them for what they discover. For within The Place lies a horrific secret kept hidden for years by corrupt members of the Government. A secret that demands to be told...
Note: The Dreamhunter Duet has also been combined into an Omnibus edition, titled 'The Invisible Road', which won the anthology section of the Julius Vogel Awards in 2009. The duet has also been published in a single book titled, 'The Rainbow Opera'.
