Twelve-year-old Tom Elm is just an ordinary turnip farmer from the Valley, but he's always felt destined for something bigger. So when he discovers everyone in his village is asleep and plagued by nightmares, he assembles a band of unlikely heroes.
The Nacht, the evil dragon that threatens to destroy both the Dreaming and the Waking World, is growing stronger, and 12-year-old Tom Elm is the champion the Dreaming has chosen to defeat it.
The Nacht is growing stronger, and it's a race against time for Tom Elm and friends to find the final piece of the Spark before the entire Valley - and possibly the world - are plunged into eternal darkness.
