A Theory of Dreaming: Sequel to A Study in Drowning – The Stunning Final Book in the Haunting YA Fantasy Duology

A Theory of Dreaming concludes the duology that began with A Study in Drowning. After defeating the Fairy King, Effy is free of her nightmares and has earned a spot at the literature college, becoming the first woman ever to enroll. She and Preston collaborate on a thesis about the national fairy tale Angharad. However, with the Fairy King defeated and Myrddin's legacy exposed, Effy can no longer escape into fantasy and must discover who she is without her stories. As the university and nation watch for her to fail, Preston begins experiencing vivid dreams of a palace under the sea where he is king—visions that intrude into his waking life. When war erupts between Llyr and Argant, Effy and Preston find themselves caught in the conflict: Effy losing her connection to dreams while Preston becomes increasingly consumed by his own. Their love is tested as they navigate political intrigue, high-stakes warfare, and the question of whether dreams are ever truly just dreams.
