Prophecy: Child of Earth (Symphony of Ages #2) [J0241]

2000 - HCDJ With minor wear. In Rhapsody, a fellowship was forged--three companions who, through great adversity, became a force to be reckoned with: Rhapsody, a singer of great talent and even greater beauty; Achmed, an assassin with unearthly talents; and Grunthor, a giant Sergeant-Major whose jolly disposition stands at odds with his deadly skill at weapons. Having fled the F'dor--an ancient, powerful evil--the three emerged on the other side of the world, only to discover fourteen centuries had passed. Their homeland had been destroyed, their people scattered across several continents, and everyone they ever knew had long since passed away...except, perhaps, the F'dor. Prophecy continues this powerful epic. Driven by a prophetic vision, Rhapsody races to rescue the religious leader of her new homeland while Achmed and Grunthor seek evidence of the F'dor. These three may be their world's only hope, the heroes spoken of in the Prophecy of the Three, but their time is running short. They must find their elusive enemy before his darkness consumes them all.

From recent-ish Amazon/GoodReads reviews: "This is a GREAT fantasy series! I'm hooked and cannot wait to jump into book 3. I'm very happy there are 9 books in this series. Very creative and clever and exciting and what a cast of characters. I am loving this series so far."; "if you are over 15 and like Tolkien, I highly recommend you read this series. Highly underrated, one of the best if not the best fantasy series I have read so far, and I am ecstatic to get the third book."; "Elizabeth Haydon truly never fails to stun me. I am so in love with the characters that she's created and this incredible, but dangerous, world they've found themselves in."
