Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:
Ambert and Calista Knight live in a world where the arts, magic, dreams, and creativity are banned. They're the son and daughter of The Regime's Head of Regulation Enforcement and they are no stranger to the rules that surround them.
An asthmatic girl with a curious mind, Calista braces herself for a new year at Fortress Military Academy. Facing challenging academics and constant bullying, Calista's looking to make new friends and discover more about the arts and magic that her county has banned. No stranger to trouble, Ambert walks a thin line. After putting others before himself and gaining a criminal record, he's expected to follow The Commander's every order in his new job.
When both siblings come into contact with dreamers - those connected to the magic and creativity in their world - they have to decide between right and wrong. They question what family is and find meaning in helping others. Will they dare to speak up for their beliefs or go back to the bland, selfish world they've known all their lives?
Dreams, Creativity, and Magic are all gone under a single order. Banned from the things that make you different, people must conform to a dull and practical lifestyle. The daughter of The Regime's Head Executioner is expected to follow in his footsteps, but fourteen-year-old Calista Knight is curious about creativity and dreams. It doesn't help that she is isolated and bullied at school because of her asthma. When the new boy, Wes, encourages Calista to stop taking the medicine preventing dreams and introduces her to creativity, a new life opens up to her. Magic becomes very real, and with dreams and creativity intertwined, limits are endless. But the Regime wants no one to dream. Calista's a threat to the order, and she only has two options: Overcome her own personal fears of dreaming or end up just as compliant to The Regime as others around her.
