Gossip Girl meets The Hunger Games in this intoxicating and deadly fantasy romance. Set in our world, magic has become real through a drug called Levick that is owned by a single family, the Lamours. This has made them rich beyond belief, desirable to all and a target for many who wish to see them fall. Every year, they host the rich and famous at the Dream Gala, which is similar to the Met Gala, even taking place inside the Met in New York. Tickets can be bought by the public, but only one lucky person will be chosen to attend. When we are introduced to our protagonist, Nora, she is so extremely lucky that she was chosen to attend even without buying a ticket.

Suddenly thrust into a world of glamour and decadence, Nora soon learns the luxurious Lamour life is brimming with secrecy, lies, and betrayal. These realisations all lead to a multitude of seemingly never-ending questions: who put Nora’s name down for the lottery? What conspiracies are the Lamours hiding? And just how dangerous is this magic for everyone?

With iconic tropes like enemies-to-lovers, fake dating, and a love triangle, This Dream Will Devour Us entices all readers with its addictive pace and jaw-dropping twists. Although swept up in this glittering mirage, Nora is a fearless heroine who does not waver from her career ambitions and always puts her family’s needs above her own. Emma Clancey’s debut standalone will make you question what is real and what has been fabricated for your delight. For ages 14+.
