Product Description
From Amazon
Prophecy continues the stories of Rhapsody, the Namer who uses song, herb-lore, and affinities with fire and starlight to heal and protect, and her adoptive family: Achmed the Snake, an obnoxious former assassin and King of the savage Firbolg race, and Grunthor, his huge, cheerfully cannibalistic sidekick. Rhapsody travels in the company of the mysterious Ashe, who becomes much less mysterious as the story progresses. She meets a dragon, trains with a Lirin swordmistress who once carried Rhapsody's fiery sword, Daystar Clarion, and races to prevent the assassination of the Patriarch of Sepulvarta. Meanwhile, Achmed and Grunthor discover secrets of their mountain stronghold and learn more of their own powers. Together they repel renewed attacks by the F'dor, a demon seeking apocalyptic destruction. But they have not yet identified the demon's host or disarmed all of its agents, and time is running out.
Fans of epic fantasy will find Haydon a worthy successor to Tolkien, ranking with Robin Hobb and Guy Gavriel Kay. Just don't start reading too late in the day--once you've begun, you won't want to stop. --Nona Vero --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

An awesome experience,
By Crissy Moss "Author and Artist" (Washington) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Prophecy: Child of Earth (Mass Market Paperback)
This trilogy is an awesome undertaking from start to finish. In "Prophecy" the three companions find themselves in the middle of an assassination plot, and Rhapsody must race across the continent to stop it. All the while they seek to avoid war, and find the f'dor before it is too late. You'll laugh at their antics, and be on the edge of your seat at other times. Truly a masterful work, worth every page.

One of the Best Fantasy Books I've Ever Read!!!,
By Elkensteyin (Northern Virginia) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Prophecy: Child of Earth (Mass Market Paperback)
Rhapsody was a good book. Prophesy is an absolutely fantastic book. The first book needed a lot of time to set up the basic story, and there was a lot of stuff that was confusing. Elizabeth Hayden took all of those loose ends in Prophesy and spun the most magnificent story from it. I just simply couldn't put the book down. Everything about the story was excellent. All of the charachters, especially Achmed are terrific, and the book has all the qualities needed to make a great book: Good action sequences, intense emotional situations, comic relief, a bit of eroticism, and charachters and plots that you can truly believe in. I especially liked the scene when Ashe and Rhapsody realized who they truly were (i.e. Sam & Emily) - it really was one of the best chapters in a book I've ever read!!! I'm now reading Destiny and then Requium of the Sun, and am confident that I'll enjoy them as much as I've enjoyed the first two books.

Haydon keeps going strong,
By
This review is from: Prophecy: Child of Earth (Mass Market Paperback)
In her second book Prophecy Rhapsody learns about her true enemy the F'dor who are demons from her old home. Haydon introduces new characters who have many ties with Rhapsody. Overall her writing is very good and the flow of the book will make you keep on reading.
