Clara, Dreaming — A.W. Cross

For Clara, life is nothing but dreams. Orphaned at fifteen, she inherited part of a virtual reality empire. Ten years later, everything she could ever have dreamed of is within her grasp -- except the one thing she actually wants. Nathanael's life has been entwined with Clara's since they were born. To prove himself worthy, he leaves the sanctuary of their tower, hoping to become the man Clara deserves. But when the man suspected of murdering Nate's father returns to seek revenge by stealing his future, Clara must do everything in her power to save the man she loves from a living nightmare and make all of their dreams come true. For those who love the futuristic fantasy of the Lunar Chronicles, Clara, Dreaming is a romantic fairy tale retelling of The Sandman and Ole Lukøje and the second standalone in the Foxwept Array series -- where the future is a fairy tale.
