Burning Dreams is the fourth book in the Lucernian Valley Series of the New World world. Burning Dreams heavily follows the path of Westros following the Invasion of Europe, and the major consequences that begin to arise due to the Fall of Arnor in the previous book, the Invasion of Mordor into the Dreadfort, and the conflict that arises due to the rising bitterness of Riley Scott. The Invasion of the Dreadfort by Mordor is one of the major conflicts as it opens another section of Europe that the Orcs of Mordor have moved into and due to the alliance of the Iron Islands the Mordor Orcs cannot be dislodged.

Burning Dreams is the first of the Lucernian Valley to begin to show the effect of William's Lovie's expansions have had on the power of Lucerne as during this story the Kingdom of Lucerne stands on a different scale then it did during some of the other stories.

The Story is also the first in the Lucernian Valley Series where Edward Cullen is not a POV Character, as his character fell into at first death, but now most know he has switched sides and is working with Lord Voldermorte.

Burning Dreams goes into the storylines of some of the companion stories most noteably the Rise of the Dragon, and the New Land. The western lands of The Land are joined as the Kingdom of Lucerne attempts to expand and also at the same time hold off the massive armies of the Blackrock Empire of whom are growing more and more unhappy that the Kingdom of Lucerne is expanding into them. In terms of the Rise of the Dragon the story is entered when the Kingdom of Lucerne under the order of William attempts to assist their former Targaryan allies by attacking the Kingdom of Dustin, and because of this a war breaks out, as they attempt to do this.

Burning Dreams as a story heavily expands into new regions of the northern parts of Central Europe as the Tevinter War with Lucerne continues, and all the neutral parties are forced to pick sides following the expanding nature of the war.
