WINNER: 2025 Readings Gab Williams Prize
SHORTLISTED: 2026 ABIA Young Adult Book of the Year

'Dark, deadly and decadent - prepare to stay up late to finish this one. Emma Clancey is a debut to watch.' Amie Kaufman, NYT bestselling author of The Isles of the Gods

'Gossip Girl
meets The Hunger Games in this intoxicating and deadly fantasy romance.' Readings

Sometimes you have to kill a dream to escape a nightmare.

Nora is the opposite of lucky. She's still wrangling her dead dad's debts when a mysterious illness lands her brother in hospital. But her fortunes take an unexpected turn when she wins the lottery to attend the Lamour family's exclusive magical Dream Gala. If Nora can win over the Lamour heirs, she'll get a coveted spot in their magical training program - and the money she needs to save her brother.

There's just one problem: Nora never bought a lottery ticket.

Determined to discover who wants her at the Gala - and why - Nora plunges headfirst into magical high society. Caught up in a decadent world of brutal billionaires and cutthroat celebrities, Nora is soon in over her head. When her search for answers uncovers a sinister conspiracy, will Nora stay silent or risk the wrath of a family powerful enough to get away with murder?

'A captivating fantasy that blends a delightfully twisting plot with swoonworthy romance ... I inhaled it in one sitting!' Vanessa Len, bestselling author of Only a Monster

'Lose yourself in this intoxicating world of decadent glamour and deadly secrets. You won't regret it.' Lili Wilkinson, award-winning author of A Hunger of Thorns

'Luxurious and addictive ... will suck you into a world of lavish, glittering magic with a sharp-edged dark side.' CG Drews, NYT bestselling author of Don't Let The Forest In

About the Author :
Emma Clancey is a fantasy writer and medical student living in Sydney. In 2024, she was awarded the Ray Koppe/Australian Society of Authors Young Writers Fellowship. Emma's debut novel, This Dream Will Devour Us, is a YA fantasy thriller that blends her passions for magic and medicine. When not writing or horrifying her friends with unsolicited medical facts, she's likely jabbering about her latest reads on Instagram @emma.clancey.

Review :
'Set in a world where only the rich and powerful have access to magic, This Dream Will Devour Us is a captivating contemporary fantasy that blends a delightfully twisting plot with swoonworthy romance, and an exploration of celebrity and inequality. I adored this book and inhaled it in one sitting - an absolute page-turner!' Vanessa Len, bestselling author of Only a Monster

'Luxurious and addictive, This Dream Will Devour Us will suck you into a world of lavish, glittering magic with a sharp-edged dark side. A brilliant read.' CG Drews, NYT bestselling author of Don't Let The Forest In

'Full of sharp, inventive magic, deliciously unreliable characters, and pulse-pounding conspiracies, This Dream Will Devour Us left me breathless. A lavish, seductive fantasy that will keep you guessing at every turn.' Pascale Lacelle, New York Times bestselling author of Curious Tides

'With biting wit and compelling characters, This Dream Will Devour Us is a dazzling debut - full of heart-racing romance, edge-of-your seat suspense and thrilling magic, all within a world that holds a gilded mirror to our own. Clancey will enchant you, challenge you, and leave you begging for more.' Mikayla Bridge, author of Of Flame and Fury

'Clancey's richly imagined world deftly mirrors real-world wealth disparity, making the fantasy both thrilling and unsettlingly familiar. Her vivid descriptions of the dazzling displays of levic-magic are wondrous and grounded in biochemistry, lending an air of plausibility to the supernatural ... A rollicking, fast-paced read that barrels along to a satisfying conclusion. With a PG-rated love triangle and plenty of excellent LGBTQI+ representation, This Dream Will Devour Us is a fantasy thriller that will entertain fans of Kate J Armstrong's Nightbirds.' Books+Publishing

'I started this book thinking I already knew what the story would be, but Emma Clancey absolutely blew these expectations out of the water. There are so many twists and turns, and the last 50 pages had my jaw on the floor with some brilliant mystery setup and payoff. The characters are fun and so loveable, with a fabulous back-and-forth relationship between Nora, Remy and the queer heart-throb Dominic.' Good Reading 4.5 stars
