Shortlisted for BEST FIRST FANTASY by the INTERNATIONAL ASSOCIATION FOR THE FANTASTIC IN THE ARTS, Guttenberg's high fantasy novel of myth and magic, gods and desire pulls the reader to the edge of nightmare. Born of the gods, she is the Waking Dreamer. World Walker. When Calyx's father banishes her to the dream temple at Aster, it's an answer to her prayers for now she will be trained to watch and speak the dreams of others. But learning the ways of a jarak dreamer is more difficult than she imagined and the world is changing. Time is short. People everywhere are having the same shared dream and the north is growing cold. While priests scheme and a jealous queen stands in her way Edishu, the gods own nightmare, longs to escape his prison and conquer Calyx through her dreams. Now one woman stands alone to protect her people from the living death of a dread rule. "Brilliant and original… Guttenberg has created a mythos that seems entirely original... Rich, vital and believable. I strongly recommend you seek it out." Aboriginal Science Fiction "A world rich with poetry, resonant myth, and sensuously drawn characters... Delightful... A treat." Elizabeth Ann Scarborough, author of THE HEALER'S WAR "With beautiful images of the gods, their portals and far lands… Guttenberg weaves an intriguing story around a surprisingly strong framework of dreams." Locus Magazine

She received a Fellowship in Literature from the Alaska State Council on the Arts, and her first novel SUNDER, ECLIPSE AND SEED was shortlisted for Best First Fantasy from the International Association for the Fantastic in the Arts. When she's not writing you can find her building rock walls in the summer and wielding her appropriately sized chainsaw in winter. Visit her website at www.elyseguttenberg.com.
