The Tower of Dreams. The Dreaming King Saga, #1

He who dreams of the kingdom is king.On midwinter's night, the king of Dendalen must climb the treacherous path to the Tower of Dreams, where he will receive a prophetic dream to help him guide his nation through the year to come. Prince Magnus, not king and not even the heir, enjoys studying with the high priest more than learning swordplay with his father and elder brother. But that night, while the king lies in wait of a dream that does not come to him, Magnus dreams of two orphaned children-a thief from the slums and a sergeant's daughter-who will somehow hold the fate of the nation in their hands.
And he dreams of his brother's betrothed waiting in the palace, wearing a crown and heavy with child, as the darkness of war, and magic that kills whatever it touches stalk the land. When Magnus tells his father the dream, his father asks him to lie, not about their kingdom's dark future-but about who dreamed. Injustice hides in plain sight as magic dooms the world. Come with Magnus as he tries to find the truth behind the prophecies that will save not only his own kingdom, but the entire world. The Dreaming King SagaThe Tower of Dreams (this book)An Uncivil WarOn Black MesaThe Gates of Heaven
