The Golden Compass meets Narnia in this YA Fantasy series. Bekk cannot seem to stay awake. As a sophomore in high school, it doesn't bode well for his education, or the social services agent breathing down his older brother-and guardian's-neck. But Bekk can't help it. He's being plagued by dreams-dreams from his childhood, about a land called Iyah. If he doesn't snap out of it soon, he'll be taken away from the only family he has left. But when the school psychologist insists it's a childhood reaction to the trauma of his parent's death, Bekk's only recourse is to figure out the meaning of his dreams, before it's too late.
