Dream of Kings

Dream of Kings

The future never sleeps

Betrayed and far from all she knows and loves, Jolan the Dream Teller struggles to find a purpose in her loss. With courage and kindness, she serves the people in front of her, whether prisoner or king.

About the Book

In the glacial nation of Norgard, Jolan the Dream Teller serves every seeker, whether peasant or high lord. Though she loves using her gift, she struggles to navigate the corrupt and dangerous court and the jealousies of the Guildagard.

When an old man’s nightmare imparts a dire warning, Jolan realizes her entire nation is in danger. But before she can sound the alarm, she is betrayed by the guilds and sold into slavery in a rival kingdom far to the south. As a slave in a foreign land, at first Jolan can’t see beyond her singular focus: return home to warn Norgard of the coming calamity. After facing new dangers, making new friends, and forgiving old wrongs, she must fulfill the purposes the Provider has set before her.

Only then can she face a decision that could cost her the man she loves, her calling, and her freedom—all to save a people who abandoned her.

Danger. Intrigue. A sweet romance. And when you toss in a spiritual analogy, you’ve got a real winner…which is exactly what Dream of Kings is. I especially loved Jolan’s poignant journey, because who hasn’t been taken somewhere they don’t want to go in life? Then there’s the stalwart Kamor—a positively swoon-worthy hero who is oh-so-much-more than just muscle. Great character arcs and a story that will keep you guessing, you won’t want to miss author Sharon Hinck’s latest offering!

To be immersed in a Hinck story is to be held in glorious tension between what is common and recognizable and what is peculiar and unpredictable. Her reader travels secure in such disequilibrium because this world, the world where Dream of Kings unfolds, is populated with characters of great humanity. We all dream. We all question what the dreams could mean about us or our world.
– Patti Hill, author of Out of the Silence
Like a beautiful mosaic, this tender story of a woman torn between her past and future inlays fragments of the familiar into a vibrant world of pageantry and intrigue. The result is a fully immersive tale that breathes freshness and fashions the shards of grief into the unexpected beauty of renewed joy.

An epic fantasy and absorbing page-turner, DREAM OF KINGS has it all—intrigue, romance, and characters as interesting as they are endearing. With vivid world-building and a compelling plot, fantasy lovers will not want to miss out on Hinck’s latest winner.
