Soul of the Prophet: The Elder of Edon Book I by David Angelo

Soul of the Prophet: The Elder of Edon Book I by David Angelo

When Blizzard created Edon, she envisioned a paradise.

But it would become hell for the Faranchies, forced to live under the oppressive hand of their rivals, the Cullidons. For hundreds of years, the Faranchies lived in misery and turmoil, where hope grew dim and death was their only escape.

Fin, a Faranchie boy living in a decrepit ghetto, just wants to settle down with his love, Scarlet. But in the course of a single night, he inadvertently kicks off a chain of events that places him at the center of a century’s long conspiracy, and in the crosshairs of the most powerful Cullidon in the land.

Facing certain death, Fin is rescued by a ragtag resistance group who reveals to him the shocking truth: that he is an anointed prophet, chosen by the divine to liberate the Faranchies and unite the dragons of Edon. But the road to freedom is paved with tribulations, and Fin will need every ounce of strength needed for what lays ahead.

Can Fin save his people, or is Edon a lost cause?

Available on Kindle, soft cover, and hard cover. Also available on Kindle Unlimited.

The kingdom of Mesanda is embroiled in civil war …
High Lord Shorid of Malktown has risen against his brother King Marnol, conquering the entire south in less than a year.
