A YA fantasy set in the near future, full of secrets, high stakes, peril, deceptions and dreamwalkers, from the author of The Obernewtyn Chronicles and The Gathering.

Will Helloran is 16 years old and lives with his father in the Canberra dome complex that protects its inhabitants from the corrosive atmosphere outside.

At night, his dreams are haunted by his beloved uncle Adam, who unexpectedly died in his sleep almost a year ago. As the nightmares grow increasingly disturbing, Will comes to believe that his uncle's death may have been suspicious, so he begins investigating.

Meanwhile, his best friend Ender is becoming concerned about her brilliant, troubled twin Magda, who has a top-secret intelligence role. When Magda disappears, Will is drawn into a web bigger than he can imagine. If he and his friends are to survive, he must navigate his way out of the treacherous dreamscape, while staying safe in the waking world.

Featuring a reluctant hero in a near-future city on an epic quest into an alternative dream world, Comes the Night is a thrilling new novel from Australia's queen of YA fantasy.

'The queen of YA fantasy has done it again. Delicious twists and deceptions fill this high stakes tale where dreams will entice you. You won't be able to sleep until you hit the last page.' - C.S. Pacat, author of Dark Rise
