When Kane tries to piece together his memories, his definition of reality starts to come undone...

All Kane Montgomery knows is that the police found him half-dead in the river. The only witness -- his little sister Sophia -- claims he was dragged there by something not of this world. If Kane can''t come up with a better explanation, he''ll be shipped off to award.

As Kane pieces together clues, he''s confronted by reality rapidly coming undone. The local community college warps into a subterranean temple, a historical estate nearby blooms into a Victorian romance, and people come out of the woodwork, claiming to be his secret friends. Increasingly tangible and terrifying realities materialize around Kane...and then his memories begin to return.

A "joyously, riotously queer" (Kirkus) young adult fantasy from debut author Ryan La Sala, Reverieis a wildly imaginative story about the subconscious becoming reality, perfect for fans of Adam Silvera and Laini Taylor.

A few weeks ago, Kane Montgomery was in an accident that robbed him of his memory. The only thing he knows for certain is that the police found him half-dead in the river. The world as he knows it feels different--reality seems different. And when strange things start happening around him, Kane isn't sure where to turn.

And then three of his classmates show up, claiming to be his friends and the only people who can tell him what's truly going on. Kane doesn't know what to believe or who he can trust. But as he and the others are dragged into increasingly fantastical dream worlds drawn from imagination, it becomes clear that there is dark magic at work. Nothing in Kane's life is an accident, and only he can keep the world itself from unraveling.

Reverieis an intricate and compelling LGBT young adult book about the secret worlds we hide within ourselves and what happens when they become real.
