The Princess of Dreams by Ashton E. Dorow
Review:
I’m so sad that this is the last book in the series but what a book to go out on! This book has everything! A war, humor, peril, all the longing your heart can handle, passionate kisses without the scorch and timely reminders that our plans are not always God’s plans...but He always has a plan for us. We can rest in that knowledge and surrender our worries to Him. Most of the time, His plan was better for us anyway. I highly recommend this book, though do take note of the P.C.C. guide below.

Possibly Concerning Content
Language: None
Romance: There are kisses and a fade to black scene at the end. but no mention of tongues or body parts or groping. She sees a bare shoulder and he sees a bare knee and are properly scandalized.
Violence: Medium: There is a war and though the gore is not described the deaths are. ‘Took an arrow through the neck,’ sort of descriptions. A horse is presumed dead. Another is confirmed dead in the battle. There is a man who gropes a woman without her permission and threatens more but he is killed before he can follow up on his threat. People are killed both in and out of the battle but it is never glorified and the MMC actually asks God to forgive him for taking a life even though he knows he must to defend his people.
Magic: None
Other: Childbirth is described. God sends prophetic dreams to the FMC.

For eight years, Princess Matilda of Acuniel has carried a heavy secret–her dreams often reveal the future, warning of death or danger. Fearful of this strange gift, Tillie does her best to bury it, instead focusing her energy on her two greatest desires: one, fighting alongside her brothers in battle, and two, winning the heart of Lord Phillip of Dallin. To her everlasting frustration, however, neither desire seems likely to happen. Her father will never consent to her being a soldier, and Phillip has yet to see her as anything other than the little girl he’s always known.
As Acuniel celebrates its three-hundredth birthday, Tillie’s unwanted gift resurfaces in a chilling way. Though she’s remained silent all this time, letting this particular tragedy unfold without trying to stop it is unthinkable.Her intervention begins a series of events that will reveal enemies both old and new, and thrust Acuniel into a war that could change the course of its history forever. Tillie yet has a role to play in all of it–but is it the role she so desires? Or are some dreams destined to remain forever out of reach?
The Princess of Dreams is a loose retelling of the Biblical story of Deborah, and the final book in The Royals of Acuniel series.
