Inception<\/em>\u00a0meets\u00a0The Magicians<\/em>, except with better wigs and a maniacal drag queen sorceress attempting to unravel the reality of Connecticut (yes, the state) and replace it with something\u2026well something better than Connecticut.<\/span><\/p>\n

Ryan La Sala\u2019s debut fantasy is an #OwnVoices story following Kane Montgomery, a gay teenager piecing his life back together after an attack robs him of his memories. As Kane searches for who he was, he uncovers a war for the creative rights to reality itself, each battle played out in an imagined world turned real: a reverie.<\/p>\n

Reveries are worlds born from a person\u2019s private fantasies, and once they manifest they can only be unraveled by bringing their conflicts to resolution. Reveries have rules and plots, magic and monsters, and one wrong step could twist the entire thing into a lethal, labyrinthine nightmare. Unraveling them is dangerous work, but it\u2019s what Kane and The Others do.<\/p>\n

Or did, until one of The Others purged Kane of his memories. But now Kane is back, and solving the mystery of his betrayal is the only way to unite his team and defeat reality\u2019s latest threat: Poesy, a sorceress bent on harvesting the reveries for their pure, imaginative power.<\/p>\n

But what use might a drag queen sorceress have with a menagerie of stolen reveries? And should Kane, a boy with no love for a team that betrayed him, fight to stop her, or defect to aid her?<\/p>\n

Reverie<\/em>\u00a0is about the seduction of escaping inwards, about the worlds we hide within ourselves, and the danger of dreams that come true.<\/p>\n
