Brought to light after centuries buried in profound silence, The Advice of Dreams is the story--told here for the first time--of Tynan and the Caledonians, people unremembered by history, and their ardent struggle for life, meaning, freedom, and happiness. Amidst a violent clash of cultures, Tynan is torn from his rural life and flung into the shifting crosscurrents of his generation. Challenged by deeply ingrained personal and social barriers, caught in a maelstrom of political intrigue, swept up in a vast armed confrontation; he becomes an unlikely key in the desperate struggle for his homeland; and a broad kingdom fought over by two ancient enemies. Set in an era roiled by war, revolution, and the conflict of ideas; told in the vivid detail of a contemporary eyewitness; and rendered in remarkable imagery, The Advice of Dreams evokes a world and its people, telling a tale that will fascinate those who respond to the romance of the past. A story from a time and place long vanished, The Advice of Dreams resonates with the valor of the human spirit and speaks of those who fought for something worth fighting for.
