Heir of Prophecy - by Analeigh Sbrana (Hardcover)

Book Synopsis

The first thrilling novel in a new adult romantasy duology following a young woman who finds herself the Chosen One to two conflicting prophecies--from the author of Lore of the Wilds.

Magic has always been something at the periphery of Audra's life. As a human, she knows that magic exists, but it is something that is beyond the mist. Until one day the mist comes to shore, bringing with it the all too real Fae and upending Audra's life entirely.

She is kidnapped from her home and taken to a school to be trained as a soldier by the Priestesses, Fae beings who are an ominous presence with a cult-like mentality. Audra must band together with a group of other prisoners to survive their new world filled with guilds, magic, and danger. The Priestesses are searching for the mythical Heir of Prophecy who will save them from an eternal winter. They know the Heir is among the student prisoners at the school and are getting more and more desperate to flush out him or her.

What Audra needs to know is what exactly it means to be the Heir... because she's pretty sure it's her. Her magic is wonky in exactly the way it was foretold. As she tries to hide her true nature, something strange keeps happening. A vision, a very hot and very underwordly vision comes to her. And what he has to say will put her life in even more danger and force her to make a decision that puts the fate of the entire world at risk.

Review Quotes

"The plot unravels deliberately and deliciously, luring readers into its world and captivating them with multidimensional characters who will keep them on their toes. Sbrana is a writer to watch." - Publishers Weekly on Lore of the Wilds
"Sbrana's worldbuilding is richly detailed, with much of the action taking place in the final third of the book, and the cliffhanger ending will have readers breathlessly anticipating the sequel. Cozy fantasy readers should take note." - Library Journal on Lore of the Wilds
"Lore of the Tides is the perfect conclusion to this duology that will rip out your heart, stomp on it a few times, and then put it back together again. I was completely entranced by the magic, the world, the characters, and the way Sbrana reminds you to stand up in a world that tries to make you feel small. It was a battle cry and a love letter, and I was here for it all."
