Higher: The Awakening

HIGHER: THE AWAKENING Book One of The Dreamwalker Chronicles By Scarlett Blair Seventeen-year-old Jalen Skye has spent his entire life haunted by dreams of a city that shouldn’t exist. A kingdom of crystal towers, floating islands, and golden skies called Elyria. Everyone tells him they’re only dreams. Everyone except the mysterious silver-haired girl who keeps appearing within them. When a strange symbol awakens on Jalen’s chest and an ancient message from his missing father surfaces after seventeen years, everything he thought he knew begins to unravel. Elyria is real. The dreams are real. And so is the darkness hunting him. Drawn into a hidden world above the clouds, Jalen discovers he is more than an ordinary teenager. He is the Heir, the last hope in an ancient war between light and shadow. But as powerful enemies rise and forgotten prophecies awaken, Jalen learns a terrifying truth: The fate of Elyria may depend on a legendary relic known as the Golden Door. A door connected to seven ancient Keys. A door his father vanished trying to find. With the mysterious Guardian Nova at his side and the legendary Dreamwalker Aetherion as his guide, Jalen must uncover the truth before the Void claims the Keys and shatters reality itself. Because somewhere beyond the clouds, the Door is waiting. And so is the darkness. Perfect for readers who love epic fantasy, hidden worlds, ancient prophecies, found family, mystery, and slow-burn romance. The Dreamwalker Chronicles begins here.
