Dream Weaver
Anatolia — Autumn, 1405 AD.
The Ottoman Sultan and the barbaric Turko-Mongol conqueror Timur Lenk are both dead.
The empire is on the verge of collapse, caught up in bloody civil war. And dark powers are rising, employing Uzbeg mercenaries and blood magic to wrest control of the country.
In a small Mediterranean coastal town, a street-wise sixteen-year-old orphan named Ali starts to have uncontrollable nightmares he thinks are predicting the future, only to learn they are creating the future.
His dreams attract unwanted attention, and in an attempt to rid himself of them, Ali sets off on a quest to find a mythical sage called Luman, pursued by the evil men who killed his mother and will stop at nothing to capture him and corrupt his unwanted powers with gemeye blood magic.
An historical adventure/fantasy/romance story for Young Adults that will appeal to readers young and old.
