A parent would reach for this book when their teen is feeling the heavy weight of expectations or struggling to find their own voice while following in the footsteps of others. It is an ideal choice for the child who feels like they have a unique potential but is unsure if they are brave enough to act on it. The story follows Esmer and Erebus as they return from the Dream Realm, tasked with breaking a curse that has long plagued their kingdom. Beyond the high stakes adventure, the book explores the deep internal work of self confidence, the nuances of loyalty, and the resilience needed to face overwhelming odds. While it contains the peril and intensity common in young adult fantasy, it serves as a powerful metaphor for the transition into adulthood, where young people must learn to navigate a world of secrets and establish their own identities. Parents will appreciate the way it frames bravery not as the absence of fear, but as the choice to move forward despite it.
