Summary:
In a world on the brink of war and economic ruin, an evil company holds the power. Controlling resources and money, it prepares for the arrival of the Speaker, a demonic entity set on destroying the planet with dark energy. When 17-year-old Caddy begins a desperate search for her missing father, she is abducted into a secret society called the Dreamers - Light workers who "dream" to prevent the dark from taking over the world. At the same time, Caddy's classmate Meg is transformed into a magnificent Light being named Skylark. Together with a band of demon-hunting ethereals, Skylark pursues the Speaker to save humankind. But when she is poisoned by the Speaker's black energy, the fate of the earth hangs in the balance, and the lives of Caddy and Skylark collide in a battle for life, love, and the human soul. - From the back cover.
"Seventeen-year old Caddy is haunted by visions of global destruction. They come on like seizures, taking her to a desolate place where dispossessed souls struggle to be heard. It is one possible future--one she feels she must prevent. But in a world where food and money are scarce, and the struggle over resources between the continents is escalating toward war, Caddy has little hope. When her father goes missing, she searches for him and is abducted into a cabalistic society called The Dreamers--visionaries who "dream" to sustain the light against the dark energies that threaten to take over the planet. Caddy is shepherded into the society by a high school classmate called Poe, and through him, uncovers long-hidden truths about herself and her father. The situation darkens when Caddy learns that the dreamers are hunted and killed by an ancient order known as the Grey Men--a cult dedicated to eradicating the light to assist a demonic entity they call The Speaker. By killing the dreamers, the grey men open rifts in the light that allow The Speaker to seed evil and darkness on the earth plane with the ultimate goal of destroying the planet. Things become more complicated when Meg, a girl from Caddy's high school, who has been ushered into this other reality, clashes with Caddy to supress the forces of light and to try to win back Poe's heart. As she falls deeper and deeper into the world of the dreamers, Caddy discovers layers of deceit and treachery realizes it's up to her to find a way to overcome the dark and prevent the light from being extinguished forever. . ."--From publisher.
