Night Seekers is set in a far future land of dreams, a world seemingly doomed to destruction because the immortal descendents of humanity are losing the power to dream and imagine. Sahla is a Dark One, a tribal shaman who may be the saviour of her world or may inadvertently hasten its destruction.

This is a hugely imaginative book, populated by memorable characters and ideas, and beautifully written. The clash of cultures is fascinating and sometimes uncomfortable. It takes you on an epic journey through spirit realms of light and darkness, and builds to a wonderfully apocalyptic ending.

The first novel by Lauren Halkon, Night Seekers is an epic tale exploring the interpenetrating worlds of dream, reality, consciousness, and evolution. The literary artistry is masterful, the imagery mind-boggling, psychedelic. The author creates a brilliant coalescence of a technologically advanced future human race with the spirits of the unseen worlds of ancient times, in a desperate and agonizing search for understanding their true relationship to each other and their common destiny. The author seeks not just to entertain, which she does with great style and force, but she takes you into her mind, her soul. To put you with her, in her. This is what Art seeks to achieve.
