"Prophecy Be Damned"
Patricia Lucas White

The youngest of the gods fell into the clutches of an ambitious mortal, a usurper who took what he wanted and almost destroyed the world. The Elderkin (the old gods) imprisoned the mortal in the heart of a mountain and took away the young god's beauty, name, and tears. Then they fled the earth, leaving man godless, but they left a prophecy behind that said if the Nameless God's birthright is returned to him before the mortal breaks free, then the Elderkin will return.

But that was long ago, now the burden rests on a boy's shoulders and Sam is not one bit happy about it. A Scribe for the Guardians, a group of men and women dedicated to returning the gods and keeping the mortal imprisoned, Sam has been mistreated, ordered about, and mind-scrambled. Now he has to fulfill the prophecy? Not likely, the boy would much rather damn it than do it, but it doesn't seem like he's going to have much choice in the matter.

Review:

Eternal Night, UK

Prophesy Be Damned is the first novel in the 'Tales of the Penitent' and it forms a good introduction to what will undoubtedly be a very enjoyable series. The characters are well described and intriguing. The writer hints at future storylines that will hopefully be expanded upon in future volumes. The story has a good mix of magic, mythology and adventure and moves along at a reasonable pace.

Rating: Excellent!

Are you a Fantasy fan? I'm not. I shy away from such under normal circumstances because I find many books labeled "Fantasy" to be pretty much the same. However, Prophecy Be Damned blew my preconceived notions about Fantasy right out of the water! This is not your usual fare of fairies, goblins and elves. The characters are unique and vary from ordinary peasants to magicians reminiscent of Merlin and a brave knight willing to die to keep his word. After reading this tale, I must have the sequel.

This masterful storyteller gives us non-stop action, unequaled suspense and characters you can't help loving--or hating. All of this and more make this one of the most heartwarming and exciting books I've ever read. Ms. White creates imagery that takes you into the heart of an enchanted forest where you can smell the leaves and taste the cool, sweet water, then into the unforgiving desert where you can feel the burning heat of the unrelenting sun.

She introduces you to magical, mystical creatures, both good and bad. The gods have turned their backs on Mankind and only the fulfillment of Prophecy will bring them back. In this classic tale of good and evil, you will fall in love with Sam, the orphaned young man mistreated by his caretakers since childhood, who seems to be the catalyst to bring the gods back to mankind. But he doesn't want to be a hero. He doesn't know how to fulfill prophecy--or does he? The surprise ending will leave you panting for more.

This is a book that you must not miss if you enjoy masterful story telling and continuing sagas that take you into the world of what might be. You will meet enchanted creatures and a beautiful little girl that defies logic. You will meet evil and twisted creatures from your darkest nightmare. You will meet one of this generations' greatest story tellers, Patricia L. White.

Prophecy Be Damned is destined to be a classic in the same class as Tolkien's Lord of the Rings.

About the Author:

An Oregonian by birth and inclination, Patricia Lucas White lives in the Cascade Mountains, contemplates a sleeping volcano, deer, quail, and encroaching street lights, and writes whatever strikes her fancy. Her fancy is wide-ranging and curious, but it is especially attracted to fantasy.

Her husband and mentally challenged daughter aid and abet her excursions into fancy--even if they do look at her askance on occasion. Her two adult sons just smile and shake their heads--and laugh out loud once in a while.
