Dreamer of Dreams

A painter named Eric has created a magnificent canvas depicting a royal wedding, yet one face remains forever incomplete: the queen's. She appeared to him in a dream so vivid that upon waking, the memory slipped away like morning mist. Now he cannot add another stroke to his brush until he sees those eyes again. Thus begins a quest across kingdoms and through shadow, as Eric searches for the woman who haunts his art and his soul. What he discovers is something far greater than a face to paint. Through encounters with peasants and nobles, through moments of despair and wonder, Eric learns that the dream was never really about a queen at all. It was about the nature of inspiration itself, and the strange way the universe conspires to reveal our deepest truths to us. Written by Queen Marie of Romania in the aftermath of World War I, this is a fairy tale for readers who still believe that beauty and meaning await those brave enough to chase them. It is for the dreamers, the artists, and anyone who has ever pursued a vision so deeply that it became indistinguishable from a prayer.
