    About this audiobook

    SideQuests are stand-alone stories or novellas that chronicle the heroes, villains, and adventures in The Foreworld Saga across numerous eras and ages. They can be read in any order with or without prior knowledge of The Foreworld Saga.

    During the Fifth Crusade, the bloody siege of Damietta grinds to a stalemate and a young Christian soldier begins having visions…

    Raphael of Acre, a young initiate of the Shield-Brethren, becomes a war hero during a vicious battle for control of a Muslim stronghold. One of his companions, Eptor, is wounded in the battle and falls under the influence of strange hallucinations. When a superior plots to manipulate Eptor’s visions into war propaganda, Raphael struggles between duty to the cause and duty to his faith. Unable to reconcile his roles as Christian and soldier, Raphael seeks out an unlikely source of counsel—the great pacifist Francis of Assisi.

    Part of the Foreworld Saga, Dreamer confronts the paradox of using sword and fist in an effort to spread a message of humility and compassion.

    A note on this story: Dreamer is included in The Mongoliad: Book Two Collector’s Edition.

      A prequel to The Mongoliad, Dreamer is a very short tale about the knight Raphael. A quick read that initially offered just enough to get me intrigued, but the writing fell short and the content left me far from satisfied. In all fairness, I might have liked this better if I'd been more interested in Raphael's character, but he was nowhere near one of my favorites in the main story.
