Out of the box. Into the unexpected.

Barbie’s life is perfect. She lives in a pink-hued paradise called Heartland where everything is in order and everyone has a role to play, thanks to the mysterious and all-powerful beings who will soon assign her a Fate at graduation from the enchanted Swancrest Academy. She’s worked hard to earn a good one. Her years of endless studying and acing every challenge are about to pay off. But when the unthinkable happens and Barbie is left Fateless—the first in Heartland’s history—her carefully ordered world shatters.

Shaken and uncertain, Barbie must confront a future she never imagined: one with no clear path forward at all. Yet when a mysterious necklace begins to pulse with hidden power, she is drawn beyond Heartland’s protective mists into a daring journey across extraordinary lands. From sun-drenched shores to treacherous, ever-shifting landscapes, to shadowed forests steeped in secrets and magic, each realm will test Barbie’s courage, sharpen her wits, and awaken strengths she never knew she possessed—all while drawing her ever closer to a buried truth that could change her world forever.

A richly imagined coming-of-age tale from the premier voice in teen fiction, Barbie: Dreamscape is a story about defying expectations, rewriting the rules, and discovering that the greatest possibilities lie in stepping out of the box…and into the unexpected.

Since its release in August of 2022, Aster has sold over 4 million copies of LIGHTLARK in the US alone and has spent over 140 weeks on the New York Times Best Sellers list for the series. Aster was celebrated in the annual 2023 Forbes 30 Under 30 list following the meteoric success of the series. The second and third books in the LIGHTLARK series, NIGHTBANE and SKYSHADE, were published in 2023 and 2024, respectively.
