Dromarna Torn, the Tower of Dreams, rises above the black rock of the Skalletberg, and on midwinters night, the king ascends to the tower to receive the prophetic dreams to help guide his country through the coming year. The tower’s magic leads to a battle, centuries in the making. This four-volume series follows King Magnus and Queen Carlota, along with Kala, a member of the Queen’s Tigress Kavalkad, a thief named Anton, and Asmund, a heretic priest, as the ancient prophecies of the Dreaming Child come closer.
Author’s Note
One of my favorite things about The Dreaming King Saga is the ending of the series. For those of you who have read The Lord of the Rings, when I get to the last chapter, The Gray Havens, where Frodo is taking the ship to the undying lands, I am in tears, every time. Part of the greatness of the story is that Frodo won, he kicked butt, he saved the world for everyone but himself.
For me, the ending of this series, the last part of The Gates of Heaven, is like that. I’m the author. I know what’s coming. I’ve been over that section a dozen times or more, and I’m still in tears. Every single time.
I hope you can experience that wonderful ending too.

In the Tower, he who dreams is king…
On midwinter’s night, the king of Dendalen climbs the treacherous path to the Tower of Dreams, where he receives a prophetic dream to help him guide him through the year.
Prince Magnus, neither king and nor heir, climbs to the tower with his father and brother.
That night, Magnus dreams of two orphaned children, a thief from the slums and a sergeant’s daughter, who hold the fate of the nation in their hands. And he dreams of his brother’s betrothed crowned in the palace as war stalks the land and magic that kills whatever it touches tears the fabric of the world.
Magnus tells his father about the dream. But 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. Can Magnus find the truth behind the prophecies that will save not only his own kingdom, but the entire world?
In a world torn apart by war, everything hangs on the fate of a kidnapped prince…
While King Magnus climbs to his tower for the prophetic dream to determine the fate of the kingdom of Dendalen, mysterious assailants kidnap his son, the infant Prince Karlis. Queen Carlota sends her champion, the unstoppable knight Kala, to hunt down the kidnappers.
However, the kidnapping is only the first salvo. Prince Filip, the king’s only brother, unleashes full-out war before Magnus even suspects there is any danger. Why didn’t the prophetic dreams warn him of his brother’s betrayal? Magnus has no answer, only
Meanwhile, the queen’s champion Kala pursues the kidnappers through the mountains in winter, surviving blizzards and savage attacks only to find danger from an unexpected magic.
Enemy wizards create a wall of wind that divides the land…
The monumental construct separates families, divides villages, disrupts weather patterns—and even changes how magic works.
The evil Scarred King rules one side of the wall with an authoritarian fist. Queen Carlota leads a fragile kingdom on the far side of the wall, a kingdom that is already failing as northern provinces revolt and join the Scarred King.
Carlota must bring the magical wall down or all the prophecies she has dreamed—prophecies of a savior who will rescue Dendalen from disaster—will fail.
Carlota sends her two best warriors—Anton, head of the guard protecting her son, and her own champion, Kala—to do the impossible and bring down the wall while returning the rebel provinces to the fold.
The situation is dire. But Carlota may still have a few tricks up her sleeve…
The ancient sleeping wizard has wakened. The prophesied day of evil is at hand.
This midwinter’s night, Prince Karlis has the prophetic dream, marking him as the new king of Dendalen. He must prevent the evil wizard from destroying the gates of heaven
But it may already be too late.
On every front, there is war and treachery. With the astonishing magic in play, there is little hope that Karlis and his army will succeed.
The only hope remaining is in the tenuous thread of prophecy…a prophecy that promises no victory, only a thin thread of possibility.
