Dreamer, Awake!

Roused from mind-slavery, a woman finds her life bloody and bleak. Her quest is revenge on one hand and identity and belonging on the other. Inspired by the classics of sword & sorcery and cyberpunk, Liam Q. D. Hall brings us into the depths of humanity with all the accompanying darkness and light.

Praise for Dreamer, Awake!

“Dreamer, Awake! is a pulse-pounding, savage revenge, and unexpected redemption. You’ll want more of this maimed protagonist and her gritty world.” —D. J. Butler, author of In the Palace of Shadow and Joy

“A vision—as if seen through smoke—of a world both savage and strange. Perfect for those who prefer their sword-and-sorcery with a side of science fiction.” —Christopher Ruocchio, Internationally Award-Winning Author of The Sun Eater

“Hall's Dreamer, Awake! is a page-turning mystery with its feet planted firmly on the sword and sorcery tradition and its eyes looking towards the exciting and introspective sky of cyberpunk storytelling. A unique tale of clashing swords and dark magic that leaves the reader guessing what it means to 'be' in a style that is very much the author's hallmark. Keep your eyes on Hall. I certainly intend to.” —Timaeus Bloom, editor of Howls from the Scene of the Crime
