This Dream Will Devour Us

Sometimes you have to kill a dream to escape a nightmare. Eighteen-year-old Nora Blake is anything but lucky. After her father’s death, she’s left with crushing debts and a brother in hospital. Her chance at escaping that life comes when she miraculously wins a lottery ticket to the Dream Gala ― an exclusive, magical event run by the powerful Lamour family. If she can win over one of the Lamour heirs, she’ll earn a spot in their magical training program, and the money she needs to save her brother. But there’s a catch: Nora never bought a lottery ticket. Drawn into the opulent yet dangerous world of magical high society, Nora discovers that behind the glamour, the Lamours guard sinister secrets. With her life, her loyalties, and her heart at stake, Nora must decide whether to stay silent or risk everything to uncover the truth.
