A Theory of Dreaming by Ava Reid

A Theory of Dreaming (published in late 2025) by Ava Reid is the highly anticipated, haunting sequel to her bestselling YA dark academia fantasy, A Study in Drowning.

This book serves as the final installment in the duology, trading some of the first book's secluded, gothic estate vibes for a raw, high-stakes exploration of academic politics, national propaganda, and the boundaries of reality.

Following the explosive revelations at Hiraeth Manor in the first book—where the legacy of the revered author Emerys Myrddin was exposed as a lie—Effy Sayre and Preston Hylton return to the University.
