Description
Temora and the Dreamers reveals the enchanting journey of Temora Tempest, a girl who once believed she was just ordinary. After making a wish on her twelfth birthday, she discovers her true identity: a wordspinner from the magical Lunary World, destined to bring stories and dreams to the children of another realm.
However, a lurking danger threatens these mystical tales. The Wordsnatcher is on the prowl, endangering the stories of the wordspinners. When strange rulers and new decrees come into play as the Literi take over Lyfthelm Tower, Temora senses that something is amiss.
As her powers grow, she cannot overlook the looming threat, especially as more children fall victim and become Wordless. Urged by the need to protect her world, it falls upon Temora and her band of friends to thwart the Wordsnatcher and defend the realm from his dreadful machine.
