About the Book
Animal Control Officer and single mother Gwen Revmore has no use for the gods. They’ve never answered any of her prayers—even after a tragic accident leaves her husband dead, and her young son gravely injured.
But after her estranged grandfather shows up at the hospital to urge her to try one more time to save the boy, Gwen decides there’s nothing left to lose. She asks Nathao, the powerful King of Dreams, for help, and he agrees to save Sam—but like most favors, the help will come at a price.
King Nathao needs to replace an employee killed in an attack on his lands, and he promises to save Gwen’s son if she agrees to take on that very important job of Courier. Gwen will work closely with Nathao’s other staff, including her grandfather, and serve as the King’s public face for his congregations around the world. She will also be his official emissary to other gods.
Gwen soon finds herself caught in a dangerous conflict as Nathao and rival god Bayel struggle for followers and power. In a world where gods are created and shaped by human belief, these beings will stop at nothing to gain more worshippers—regardless of who is caught in the crossfire.

Reviews (Excerpts)
- "Author Patrice Sikora has created a great fantasy world, in our present day. A place where the gods compete for worshipers from among us regular people. Gwen is a flawed, but smart character who I immediately liked. The story had good twists, and the suspense kept me up way past my bedtime!" - Sandra Firpo
- "I was hooked on this story from page 2! I found the characters unique and interesting with the main character, Gwen, very likable. The book was full of mystery, adventure, suspense and fantasy. I could not put it down and was anxious to discover the outcome, which was very satisfying [...]" - Peter Abrahamsen
- "[...] The world that Sikora creates is detailed and believable while at the same time being appropriately fantastical as to let me have my moment of escape when I read - I was really impressed. I found the characters to be strong and interesting, and I was sad to finish the book because I wanted it to keep going and spend more time with them! I highly recommend this book." - Julian (Amazon)
- "[...] I am glad that I picked up this book to read. The plot premise is interesting, the characters are engaging, the dialogue is well written and flows Once I got into this book, it was very hard to put down. II am looking forward to the sequel." - Carol Harvey
- "Wonderful read! A fantasy in a modern world that you can relate to. Gwen - the Dream King's Courier - is an emotionally and physically strong character whois the heroine at the heart of this tale! I particularly liked the way the tension built until the conclusion and the book wasn't a 750 page tome. Very readable and I didn't want to put it down!! Can't wait for Ms Sikora's next book![...]" - Charles Corpening

| Author Patrice Sikora |
An avid reader herself, Patrice was inspired to write the first book of the Dream King’s Courier series when, one day while on her daily commute to work in New York City, she found herself without anything to read.
She is a struggling tai chi student (but then what martial arts student is not) and loves the challenge.
