About this eBook

Set in a fantasy, reimagined India where dreams can be captured and bottled and nightmares used against you, Mimi Malou and her dream creature Lalu must defend her Citadel as it is under threat again…

After foiling her the plot to poison the King of Ratnagar, Mimi ensured that her home, the Citadel Dreams, remained a place of gentle healing and dream making. But the peace of the Citadel is threatened again when it is struck by the dark and dangerous Night Curse. Dream creatures are being poisoned and are attacking their humans, leading dream hunters being stuck in unwakeable nightmares. Mimi will be tested more than she has ever been before and must travel to the Himalayan Mountains in order to find a cure and stop an old enemy who has returned for vengeance…

A gorgeous magical adventure full of wonder, perfect for fans of Natasha Hastings, Zohra Nabi, Sophie Anderson and Anna James.

About the author

Nazima was born in India and raised in London, moving later to Cambridge where she lives with her husband and two children. She is a children’s doctor and researcher but has always enjoyed reading and writing stories. In a way, science when conveyed well is a tale of the why’s, the how’s and therefore’s. But children’s stories are special, important and fun, and after learning the craft of writing fiction, Nazima found a home in creating magical stories for curious children who believe in the right to dream.
