Like every kid in Solasenda,
Kiva Stone has been far too busy training for one of the five town guilds to
think about something as useless as dreaming. But when she and her sister
DeeDee uncover a mysterious plot to get rid of them, their only hope lies with
a shadowy group of people who wield unimaginable powers drawn from their
dreams. As the girls escape with them up the Varruvyen river, they start
learning secret Dreaming Way techniques that have been forbidden for centuries.
But how can they learn enough to stand against the enemies chasing them? The
answer lies in the shattered history of Orora Crona, the lost Valley of Dreams,
and whoever can piece it together first will rule for centuries to come.

Kiva looked closely at the sun’s golden
face. Wavy rays representing shimmering heat radiated out from it. Its cheeks
were plump, the lips full and curved, the nose wide, and the eyes were a little
almond-shaped, like hers. In the middle of its forehead was a weird circle with
six curving parts swirling around a six-pointed star. She’d never seen the sun
drawn like that. Wondering what was on the back of the pendant, Kiva turned it
over.
The
instant she saw the moon’s closed eyes, her hair flew back in the wind, her
stomach dropped, and she was pressed back against the cushions of a vessel that
was flying just inches above the river. She jerked her head back up and found
she was in the back of a crescent-shaped boat piloted by an old man sitting up
front. She was about to call out to him when he pointed at a tree that had fallen
across the river and shouted, “When you get here, you must take a detour that
even old Jacques didn’t know about! Hold on!”
Before
she could, though, he turned the boat around so quickly that Kiva was thrown
against the side of her boat and the wind was knocked out of her. She only got
her breath back when he straightened out and followed the river back down.
“Look
there!” he shouted moments later. “Turn right between the tall twins!”

About the Author
P.H.T. Bennet began exploring his dreams when he
was a child and has never bothered to stop. He had the good luck to have two
daughters, Juliette and Paola, who not only served as the inspirations for
DeeDee and Kiva, the main characters of Raising
Sleeping Stones, but also helped him turn their family dreamwork
sessions into this book. His lucky streak grew when he married his lovely wife,
Mim, who tolerates his turning on a light in the middle of the night to write
down ever-crazier dreams and talking about them in the morning as long as he
lets her sleep in, first. His favorite dreams involve flying, visiting the
dead, and replaying nightmares until they reveal their secrets.
Pratt’s latest projects are editing Book Two of the
Orora Crona Chronicles and planning a virtual summer dreaming camp
with other dream authors.
