Otherborn
by Anna Silver
London and her teenage
friends live in a reprocessed world.
Confined
within Capital City’s
concrete walls, London
has done the impossible and the illegal. She’s created something New- a song. But her mentor, club owner
Pauly, is not impressed. Since the historic Energy Crisis forced everyone
behind walls generations ago, the Tycoons have ensured there is truly nothing
new allowed under the sun. Pauly warns London
to keep her song to herself, if she knows what’s good for her.
What
he doesn’t know is that London is keeping an even bigger secret: she dreams.
And she’s not alone. London’s
band-mates and friends have begun dreaming as well, seeing themselves in “night
pictures” as beings from another world. As Otherborn,
they must piece together the story of their astral avatars, the Others, in order to save their world from a
dreamless, hopeless future.
When
Pauly is murdered and an Otherborn goes missing, London realizes someone is hunting them down.
Escaping along the Outroads, they brave the deserted Houselands with only their
dreams to guide them. Can they find their friend before the assassin finds
them? Will being Otherborn save their lives, or destroy them?
