The Dream Traveler: The Cardonian Chronicles Book One (Volume 1)

Four hundred years ago everyone in Cardonia Gifted with Telepathy was exiled to the Badlands, a stretch of unforgiving, unlivable desert. Now the spirits of those who were so cruelly and unjustly punished have invaded Cardonia,and they are out for revenge. With no warning,Raven and her family are forced to leave home and join their fellow Cardonians on a journey to the kingdom's shielded core, four mountain ranges each encircling a protected space. For once she has bigger worries than the fact that she is the only one her age still lacking a Gift. When her Gift does emerge, it sets Raven on a course of action that can either save Cardonia or cause her to lose everything she holds dear.
