About this ebook
“Dripping with bloody opulence, A Multitude of Dreams creeps up on you like a sly shadow. I couldn’t guess at the horrors until it was too late to look away! I loved this book.” —Erin A. Craig, New York Times bestselling author of House of Salt and Sorrow
The bloody plague is finally past, but what fresh horror lies in its wake?
Princess Imogen of Goslind has lived a sheltered life for three years at the boarded-up castle—she and the rest of its inhabitants safe from the bloody mori roja plague that’s ravaged the kingdom. But Princess Imogen has a secret, and as King Stuart descends further into madness, it’s at great risk of being revealed. Rations dwindle each day, and unhappy murmurings threaten to crack the facade of the years-long charade being played within the castle walls.
Nico Mott once enjoyed a comfortable life of status, but the plague took everyone and everything from him. If not for the generosity of a nearby lord, Nico may not have survived the mori roja’s aftermath. But does owing Lord Crane his life mean he owes him his silence?
When Lord Crane sends Nico to search for more plague survivors in the castle, Nico collides with a princess who wants to break out. They will each have to navigate the web of lies they’ve woven if they’re going to survive the nightmares ahead.

The cover alone made me want to read this retelling of Edgar Allan Poe's work. I am once again able to read books comfortably that center around plagues and pandemics, and this one sounded very unique and intriguing. Princess Imogen has been placed in a difficult situation as a child--kidnapped from her family at the start of a plague so horrible, it seems everyone dies when they contract the disease. I empathized with Seraphina (her birth name) and admired how she was able to impersonate

A plague that kills in three days with only a few immune and others that turn into something else and a mad king that keeps his daughters and other nobility locked away in a castle for years and years? Definitely a dark but fascinating read that I found hard to put down. I think it was best described by Seraphina when she looked down on the nobility and king waiting for her to descend to her birthday celebration and realized how they looked like a "multitude of dreams and nightmares." Good book.
