           The Prophecy            

by

  Shane Simon

  

 

"The Prophecy"is an epic fantasy. It is the story of a young prince,   Lionel Balimore, his sister Alicia, a loyal group of friends, and the five nations on the continent of Zalar. They must struggle to overcome the obstacles of their lives and learn to unite or perish in the face of an archaic menace. 

"The Prophecy" is a tale about young people coming of age, of    adventure, magic and love, prejudice, fear and friendship, faith,          honor, courage, and perseverance. The struggles that these characters face also can serve as parallels for those struggles which young        people face in the contemporary world.

"The Prophecy" is a novel suited for ages twelve and onward and is the first book in a trilogy.

 

 We are pleased to announce "The Prophecy" is distributed throughout North America by  the U.S. largest National Wholesalers, Ingram  and Baker & Taylor.
