"I have special coping mechanisms for the times I need to open the front door.  They’re even often successful..."  Zoe Lydon knows there's often nothing logical or rational about fear.  It doesn't change the fact that she's too terrified to step outside her own house, however.  Her days are filled with dull monotony - and she prefers them that way.  However, when an old man collapses and dies in her hall, everything changes.  Zoe discovers she is a dreamweaver, able to access other people's subconscious minds.  When she finds herself in the Dreamlands and up against its sinister Mayor, she'll need to use all of her wits - and overcome all of her fears - if she's ever going to come out alive.    

Yuri, a half Japanese-half English girl, has struggled ever since her beloved father drowned when she was a child. The circumstances of his death were anything but natural - he was drawn into a storm by the sensual singing of a group of sirens and Yuri's life has been overshadowed by the threat of the gods of Olympus ever since. However, when she meets Ozzy, a soulful singer who goes on to become one of the country's biggest rockstars, she attempts to put her past behind her. Unfortunately, fate has not finished messing with her just yet. The second book in the Olympiana series, although able to be read as a stand-alone, Lyre follows the classic tale of Orpheus and Eurydice.
