The second book in the Seer of York by Alethea Lyons is almost here! And we have a cover. Like the first book, it’s a beautiful collection of blue hues forming an omninous landscape. It immediately provokes questions that aren’t answered by the blurb. We can expect another thrilling adventure in the York area. Will you still dare to sleep after this one? I’m not so sure.
The Somnia

Blurb
Something dark and twisted is stalking Harper in her sleep. Her nightmares are her only clue as to the whereabouts of the home and family she lost over a decade ago, but venturing into the dreamscape means drawing the attention of the hunter. It puts not only Harper at risk, but her sister and everyone else who knows the secret of her witchcraft.
While the predator pursues Harper in her dreams, something is kidnapping people in the wakening. When an eyeless corpse is found in the cathedral’s supposedly impenetrable secret archives, Harper’s magic is once again the key to finding the supernatural killer. But searching for them leads her back into the dreamscape and into the waiting embrace of her deadly past.
