Plot summary
The book is narrated by two characters alternating in twenty-two chapters. It is the story of Indir and Saya, women born with the gift of entering the Dream, and their roles in finding the Lost Dreamer. The story takes place in a Mesoamerican-inspired world.

Indir is born to a lineage of female Dreamers from the city of Alcanzeh. Indir loses her ability to Dream after Dreaming for King Anz the night he died. The last night Indir enters the Dream, she sees Alcan, the son of King Anz, burning his chest, over a sphere of water with the reflection of the mark of the Twin Serpents, calling into question the legitimacy of Alcan’s right as future king. Indir’s aunts, Kupi and Ixara, Dream that Indir will lose what she loves most, that she must leave Alcanzeh, and return when she has found the Lost Dreamer.
