Dream Dancer takes you empires beyond. . . Neither pure fantasy, nor straight science fiction, nor earthbound dynastic saga, Dream Dancer is a stunning amalgam of all three. It is a family saga with the timeless appeal of Lord of the Rings, the epic grandeur of Dune, and the action and excitement of Star Wars. It is a saga of love, power and treachery that will appeal to men and women equally; full of action, compulsively readable, and quite unlike being published in the realm of fantasy today, The heroine, Shebat, is a remarkable girl from Earth. She is brought to the vast empire of the Kerrion family by a renegade son; named as its future ruler on the whim of his autocratic father; abducted to the slums where Kerrion slaves drug themselves with powerful, mystical sorcery; and finally rescued to take part in a great rebellion. She falls in love with one brother but marries another, and becomes more a Kerrion than some born to the name. A magical seductress of men, passionate in her lust for power, Shebat moves among those who control the destinies of millions, for whom treachery and betrayal are as easy as murder. Set in the timeless future on a primitive, savage Earth and on the sophisticated and palatial habitats of deep space, Dream Dancer is the first volume of a three-part saga. The second volume, Cruiser Dreams, will be coming soon.

Featuring four colorful chunky crayons, children 3-7 will love this coloring and activity book based on the BarbieTM in the Pink Shoes movie.
