About this book

Discover the adventure that launched the Giftedverse series in Prophecy a supernatural coming-of-age novel from YA author Amanda Lynn Petrin.


Dubbed ‘that weird Owens girl’ since grade school, Lucy can’t wait for her fresh start at college in the Fall. Instead, a mysterious threat forces her into hiding, where she is haunted by memories of her ancestors, to whom Lucy bears a striking resemblance, down to the crescent moon birthmark on the back of their necks.

 

As Lucy uncovers the secrets of her past, she is unwittingly thrust into a game of cat and mouse against an army of Gifted (people with supernatural abilities who can't die until their purpose is achieved). A game her family has been failing for centuries.

 

Luckily, Embry and Gabriel, two mysterious family friends, are also Gifted, and claim their purpose is to protect Lucy’s line. But as she gets to know them and her family’s history better, she wonders if their ultimate goal is to keep her safe...or to stop the man who’s after her?


Prophecy is the first book in this complete trilogy by Amanda Lynn Petrin. If you like urban fantasy series with strong heroines and a touch of history, you’ll love this absorbing paranormal read.
