The Dreaming King Saga Series

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 Saga The Tower of Dreams (this book) An Uncivil War On Black Mesa The Gates of Heaven

When Queen Carlota attempts to win over the country east between the mountains and the sea with trade and evangelism, the Scarred King reacts with war. The enemy wizards created a wall of air between the two countries, a giant monumental construct that changes weather patterns and how magic works in the Vale of Stars. Captain Joao is caught on the other side of the wall with his cohort, leaving them vulnerable to attack from the Scarred King's troops. Anton is sent to find and stop the wizards creating the wall. Kala, as Holy Warrior, is sent north to rein in rebellious noblemen and renegade priests. All the while tries to protect her people, Carlota desperately wants her husband back so they can team up to bring down the wall of air.  Young Prince Karlis begins to show a talent for magic, it dawns on Carlota that her son will be the Dreaming Child. But if the wall of air stays up, Karlis will not live to fulfill the prophecy.

The ancient sleeping wizard has finally wakened. The prophesied day of evil is at hand. On midwinter's night in Dendalen, each king 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. This midwinter's night, it is Prince Karlis who has the prophetic dream, marking him as the new king of Dendalen. Becoming king is no easy privilege, however. He must reach an area warped by poisonous, reality-changing magic, known as the Forbidden, in time to stop his enemies from shattering the Gates of Heaven and destroying the world. But it may already be too late. The sleeping wizard trapped in the Forbidden to prevent him from destroying the gates of heaven has wakened, tipping the balance irrevocably in the enemy's favor. On every front, from those left at home to face seeded rebellion, to the alliance of those who stand against the destruction and evil waiting to be unleashed, to the unstoppable Holy Warrior Kala and the other soldiers of the Dendalen army spearheading the attacks against the deadly wizards at the root of the war, there is little hope. The only hope remaining is in the tenuous thread of prophecy…a prophecy that promises no victory, only a thin thread of possibility. Join the heroes of Dendalen as they try to bring their war against the wizards to an end…or die trying.   The conclusion in the Dreaming King Saga: The Tower of Dreams An Uncivil War Black Mesa The Gates of Heaven (this book)
