Prophecy by Ellen Oh
(
Expected publication: January 2nd 2013 by HarperTeen )
The greatest warrior in all of the Seven Kingdoms... is a girl with yellow eyes.
Kira’s the only female in the king’s army, and the prince’s bodyguard. She’s a demon slayer and an outcast, hated by nearly everyone in her home city of Hansong. And, she’s their only hope...
Murdered kings and discovered traitors point to a demon invasion, sending Kira on the run with the young prince. He may be the savior predicted in the Dragon King Prophecy, but the missing treasure of myth may be the true key. With only the guidance of the cryptic prophecy, Kira must battle demon soldiers, evil shaman, and the Demon Lord himself to find what was once lost and raise a prince into a king.
Intrigue and mystery, ancient lore and action-packed fantasy come together in this heart-stopping first book in a trilogy. Followed by Warrior , and King!

High fantasy = LOVE. Also, I like the hints that this one isn't 'Western' high fantasy. And demon invasion? Verrrry interesting. Great pick!
ReplyDeleteIf you’d like, you can check out my WoW here.
I'm a fantasy fan, so I'm definitely curious about Prophecy. It sounds like it could be good!
ReplyDeleteGreat WOW choice :)
Is it ok for me to butt in here and say how happy I was to see this post? Thank you soooo much for spreading the word about Prophecy! And yes, it is a fantasy set in Asia so it should be very different and I really hope you like it! But mostly I wanted to say that I'm very grateful for your enthusiasm!
ReplyDeleteYAY it's THE Ellen Oh! wow thanks for stopping by :)
Deleteas soon as Prophecy is up for preorder I'm buying! lol
One girl against a Demon Lord? Sounds awesome. And the Asian setting is definitely a bonus.
ReplyDeleteI'm excited for Ellen's book too! I love reading fantasy, and one set in Asia? So excited!
ReplyDeleteHere's my WoW post.
Prophecy has been on my radar for awhile now but I didn't know it got a cover! SO PRETTY! I'm definitely excited for this one. :D
ReplyDeleteJulia @ That Hapa Chick
again lol YES! you've convinced me I MUST read this!
ReplyDeleteThis book sound insanely awesome!
ReplyDeleteThe cover is so pretty and intriguing!
ReplyDeleteOh cool! Set in Asia...no words to express who awesome this book sounds!
ReplyDeleteDiversity! we need more of that in YA. If you're looking for a HiFa. try the Eon saga!
ReplyDeleteReally excited about this one! I've loved some non-Western fantasies (like Eon as mentioned by Cassie and Cindy Pon's books) and desperately want more.
