From the international bestselling author of All the Birds in the Sky comes Charlie Jane Anders's Dreams Bigger Than Heartbreak, the sequel to Victories Greater Than Death in the thrilling adventure series, Unstoppable.
They'll do anything to be the people they were meant to be -- even journey into the heart of evil.
Rachael Townsend is the first artist ever to leave Earth and journey out into the galaxy -- but after an encounter with an alien artifact, she can't make art at all.
Elza Monteiro is determined to be the first human to venture inside the Palace of Scented Tears and compete for the chance to become a princess -- except that inside the palace, she finds the last person she ever wanted to see again.
Tina Mains is studying at the Royal Space Academy with her friends, but she's not the badass space hero everyone was expecting.
Soon Rachael is journeying into a dark void, Elza is on a deadly spy mission, and Tina is facing an impossible choice that could change all her friends lives forever.

I really like @charliejane's "rules" for sequels, which seem like smart solutions to a storytelling problem that's been on my mind lately too. Happy launch day tomorrow for DREAMS BIGGER THAN HEARTBREAK, Charlie Jane! https://t.co/WxRtA47H5P https://t.co/nWLgs1Aa8L
