The Dreamwitch

A stunning debut romantic horror novel where a dreamwitch and her bodyguard must confront the dark truths of the nightmares bleeding into reality around them. In Camdyn, strangeness seeps from Wolford Manor like blood from an open wound. The manor swelters when it should freeze and the garden rots instead of grows – and the young nephew of Lord Montgomery suffers from crippling and pervasive nightmares. Desperate, the family calls upon Matiah Blood. As a dreamwitch, Matiah can traverse and manipulate the realm of dreams. Wanting to bolster her reputation and support her struggling sister, Matiah travels to the manor – despite the threat of the huntsmen, an elusive sect who prey on dreamwitches. While Matiah hurries to uncover Wolford’s secrets and prevent the nightmares from poisoning the rest of the household, she must rely on Atlas, the Montgomery’s handsome, brooding bodyguard, for protection. Forced to work together, the two can’t resist their growing attraction - despite Atlas’s devastating history with dreamwitches. But something far more sinister than huntsmen and nightmares haunts Wolford, something Atlas can’t protect her from, that threatens to break the barrier between the world of dreams and reality. And if Matiah can’t find a way to save Wolford from the ghosts of its past, it might very well break her. In the gorgeously haunted, horrifying world of Monique Hazel's The Dreamwitch, love may be the most dangerous thing of all. **"Immersive and intricate, I was completely absorbed by this cleverly-built world where the lines between dreams and reality are blurred. A brilliant addition to the genre." - Lyndall Clipstone, critically acclaimed author of Tenderly, I am Devoured "Crafted out of gossamer wings and dripping with crystal decadence... a haunting gothic tale complete with spine-tingling suspense and agonizing romance." - Grace Morrow, author of We Become Darkness "Dark, melancholic, and deeply romantic. The decadent fantasy of my dreams. Written with lush, indulgent prose, Monique Hazel has deftly crafted a world ready to sweep you away to candlelit halls, rotting autumnal gardens, and gauzy dreamscapes. Truly a stunning debut from an author I can’t wait to read more of." - Kalie Reid, author of The Sacred Space Between**
