Waking Dream is the story of three cousins who are linked by something even closer than blood: their dreams.

Bethany's father is dead and her mother and step-father send her to spend the summer holidays after his funeral at Camomile House. This is the home of her uncle Sylver, her aunt Emily and her hated cousin Poppy who likes to imagine she's a witch. But an unexpected and mysterious third cousin arrives. Rivalaun is accustomed to magic, since his father is a travelling storyteller who wanders from world to world.

Together the three cousins share secrets, lies and dreams as they try to unravel the threads of story. This is a story of magic, myths and mystery told from overlapping perspectives as the three cousins forge their way to the heart of dream...
