The year is 2059. Nineteen-year-old Paige Mahoney is working in the criminal underworld of Scion London, based at Seven Dials, employed by a man named Jaxon Hall. Her job: to scout for information by breaking into people's minds. For Paige is a dreamwalker, a clairvoyant and, in the world of Scion, she commits treason simply by breathing.It is raining the day her life changes for ever. Attacked, drugged and kidnapped, Paige is transported to Oxford – a city kept secret for two hundred years, controlled by a powerful, otherworldly race. Paige is assigned to Warden, a Rephaite with mysterious motives. He is her master. Her trainer. Her natural enemy. But if Paige wants to regain her freedom she must allow herself to be nurtured in this prison where she is meant to die.
Thoughts
I found this book to be slow going at the beginning, but considering the amount of world building, and a new magic system to describe it is no wonder that the book started off slow. Once I got through all this the story started to get more and more intriguing.I found Paige to be a great character, she was very strong-willed and wasn't going to take things lying down. When she is taken and becomes assigned to Warden, she is still trying to fight against the regime that she currently finds herself in.
I found Gomeisa to be a truly scrupulous character, she didn't care what she did to the people she enslaved as long as she got what she wanted (and in this case she is after a Dreamwalker AKA Paige).
The one thing I do have to gripe about is the relationship between Warden and Paige, as you knew that was going to happen, it was just the most predictable part about the whole story.
Overall a good start to the series, and I can't wait to see how the next in the series carries on after the events in this one.
