As a powerful wizard threatens the Chosen from beyond the grave, can they unravel The Prophecy in time to save their world?

Tasia is a very special Chosen. Warned to keep her distance from her brethren, she makes a fateful decision one night to assist an injured Shape-shifter. Suddenly, Tasia finds herself in the cross-hairs of Shifter mercenaries encroaching on San Francisco and their vampire allies. Forced out of the shadows, Tasia has little choice but to ally herself with the local Shifter Pack, led by a formidable and dangerous Alpha Protector. Amidst the volatile and aggressive Shifters, Tasia must fight to guard her secrets while struggling to negotiate with the enigmatic Alpha who holds his violent Pack together with a ruthless hand on its reins.
Grave danger threatens their world as a powerful wizard exploits an old prophecy to divide the Chosen. When the Pack is asked to investigate the twenty-five year old mystery, Tasia is drawn deeper into a past that risks raising the suspicions of the very Chosen she hides from. As danger closes in on her, Tasia must decide who to trust with the deadly secrets she guards.

Praise for The Prophecy

"Surprising, unique, entertaining, The Prophecy is a humorous and modern take on werewolves, magic, and vampires. Petra Landon breaks stereotypes of these themes, creating layered characters that are flawed and real ... Landon leaves an impression through the characters. A must-read for any urban fantasy lover!"
-- Reader's Favorite

"The Prophecy is a fast paced and at times action intense story. Its packed with strong characters and backed by a highly engaging plot. What I enjoyed most was the completely new take on the paranormal world."
-- Tome Tender

"I think Landon is a bright new talent in the urban-fantasy world and I, for one, will be waiting with baited breath for the next offering from this uber-talented, debut author. A great job and kudos to the author. A five-star winner from this reviewer."
-- Author Grant Leishman

"Great world building and amazing characters ... Can't wait for the second part to get me some answers."
-- Esther Dauvillier of BiteIntoBooks

Author's Note : The Prophecy is the first book of Saga of the Chosen, an urban fantasy series sprinkled with action, adventure, an unfolding mystery and a dash of romance. Set in contemporary San Francisco in the fantastical and intrigue-riddled world of Chosen, it introduces Tasia, a Magick with dangerous secrets and deadly powers. Circumstances propel Tasia from a nondescript life on the fringes of Chosen society to a crucial role in an investigation to decode a mysterious plot from the past that threatens her people. Along the way, she gains new friends and allies while struggling to maintain a tempestuous alliance with the local Shape-shifter Pack. Thrust into a world where the line between friend and foe is often hard to decipher, Tasia must figure out the rules quickly even as danger stalks ever closer to her.
The Rainmaker will be Book Two of this series.

Great Urban Fantasy read!

Reviewed in Australia on 2 June 2017

Set in San Francisco, in a world where wizards, shape-shifters and vampires exist unknown to the human population, this is a captivating, action-packed and thrilling adventure. The supernatural world that Ms Landon has created is intriguing and I found myself totally immersed in Tasia’s journey.

I instantly connected with Tasia; she is a likeable, spirited character and I felt for her struggle to survive and to find a place to belong. She is unsure who to trust and is in over her head with the politics and power plays of the supernatural clans. The plot was multi-layered and complex and the characters well developed; I enjoyed getting to know them as the story unfolded.

There is so much that I loved in this strong debut novel. It is a rewarding, well-written and entertaining read. Ms Landon has introduced a great cast of characters in a fascinating world and I can’t wait to continue with this series.

Pleasantly Surprised

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 25 May 2017

This was a bit of surprise of a book. Although I had read good reviews of this book, I didn't have that high of an expectations for it, with the generic urban fantasy cover and the unoriginal title I couldn't keep my hopes that high for it. However, I did give this book a try based on the review and recommendation of Bite Into Books, and I am glad I listened and gave this book a chance, because it has pleasantly surprised me.

Pros:

•Complex and mysterious main character with a hidden past. Although some of her secrets are revealed in this book, I think even at the end of this book there is some secrets she is still holding onto tightly - can't wait to find out what they are in future books.

•Through-out this book we get a ever growing cast of secondary character which are developed in such a great way. All of them have their own personalities and characteristics, such a great group which are deep and complex as individual characters but to read about their interactions just highlights their complexities and I feels as though I got to know them just as much as the main character.

•Complex super natural communities, which all have their own governing structures with power plays happening all over the place both inside these communities and between them.

•I really enjoyed the 'investigative' aspect of the plot. As this unlikely group of allies work together to piece together the complex plan put together by Lady Bethesda many years ago and trying to made the connection between her action then to some more current events.

•My favourite kind of romance - hate to attraction for a hostile but caring alpha.

Cons

•The only con for me is the sudden time and character perspective jumps. I found these a bit disorientating although it did keep you on your toes, and I can understand why the author would do it.

Over all I enjoyed this book, I look forward to the release of the sequels, where I hope that answers will be discovered, secrets revealed, and friendships and alliances strengthen and evolve.

This is Urban Fantasy. This isn't just another shifter story, this has so many elements involved that twine together to bring you a true Urban Fantasy. I loved everything about this book. Everything. Once again Petra Landon has brought a new refreshing story to us. This isn't the same old, this is something new and exciting. Tasia is a very mysterious character, after finishing this I still have questions! (I'm sure they will be answered in later books!) The same with Raoul. Both seem to have some pretty big tragedies and mysteries in their past. Tasia is a bit naive, but she's got a backbone and is a fast learner. When she saves someone she's never met who happens to be a Shifter, which she was warned about, she starts on an epic adventure. One thing I am coming to love about Petra Landon's books is that she successfully makes honest characters. I can see myself being best friends with Tasia, Hawk, Sara, and Sienna. I can see myself crushing on the imposing, strong, quick tempered Alpha. The relationships she writes are real and honest. You don't come across that a lot in books. Back to the story, Tasia receives Pack protection and comes to find out that she seriously needs it. She's been hiding herself for so long and hiding her magic that it's hard for her to accept allies. Because of this there seems to be some misunderstandings between her and the Alpha, Raoul. They both have a spark that I'm hoping develops into more in a later book. They seem to need to figure themselves out before they bring themselves together.
I, obviously, loved this book. I loved the storyline which kept me intrigued the entire book. I loved the characters and want to become best friends with them. The writing was superb. I'm really looking forward to more from this series and from the author!

Wow, this story has blown me away and it's only at the beginning, I loved this book, I loved the characters in it and I loved the world building this is all well done. I still can't believe that I am going to continue with book two even though book 3 is not written yet. This is something I just don't do but I just don't want to leave this world, so I'm plunging in with book two the Rainmaker and only hope the author release book 3 soon.... :-)

All I can say if you love shifter books, with a really good story, a little bit of romance, it's really only in it's infancy but I just don't care, and I'm die hard romance lover.. This story was just so good, I don't want to say anything and spoil it for people, it's just that good, I went in blind and it was the best thing that I could have done.

A promising start...

Quote: “You helped out a stranger when you could have chosen to walk away, Tasia...”

The Plot:
The Prophecy itself centers around Tasia Armstrong, although the story is told through multiple viewpoints. Tasia is a Magick, a being with magic in her blood. Collectively known as the Chosen, four factions exist among these magical beings: The First Ones or Ancients, Wyrs or Shape-shifters, Wizards, and the Undead or Vampires (Blutsaugers). Discovering what exactly Tasia is, although she claims to be a Wizard, is part of the mystery for her heritage threatens her very existence.

Tasia is living in San Francisco, trying to avoid unwelcome attention, when one night during her work as an Mfector cleaning sites where Chosen blood has been spilled, she comes across an injured and caged shape-shifter. When she makes the risky decision to come to his aid, she is thrown into the politics of the Chosen world. Eventually, she finds protection with the local shape-shifter Pack under the leadership of the enigmatic Alpha Protector Raoul, but her enemies are many and her journey is just beginning.

Moreover, the Chosen world, already tumultuous, is thrown into further chaos as a prophecy, foretold years ago, once again begins to make itself known through the ambitions of those who seek to manipulate its outcome. One thing is incredibly clear: great change is coming.

The Characters:
One thing I enjoyed about this book was the large cast of characters. By the end, I was not only rooting for Tasia, but also many of the secondary characters, including Hawk, Sara, and Duncan, to name a few.

On a side note, interestingly enough I actually found myself connecting more with Raoul that Tasia. However, I enjoyed seeing her come more into her own as the story progressed and hope she continues to do so in the following books.

The World-Building:
I will admit that I was worried about the world-building at first because several aspects reminded me of a couple of popular urban fantasies that I had started previously (and admittedly quit for varying reasons), such as the Kate Daniels and Mercy Thompson series. However, Landon manages to add new twists to what has become popular lore regarding various supernatural races—not to mention that with every consecutive book in the series, she adds more intricacy and depth to the every-expanding mythology and cultures of the various Chosen factions.

The Writing:
Although there were some bumpy moments for me, such as encountering abrupt transitions between several viewpoints and unusual punctuation, I enjoyed Landon’s writing. The world was interesting, and the mystery aspects were multi-faceted.

Conclusion:
I have so many questions that I cannot wait to see answered, from Tasia’s mysterious past to the fulfillment of a prophecy that will reshape the Chosen world as they know it. Not to mention, I am also eager to see how the bonds between various characters develop as the story progresses.

I have my fingers-crossed for the rest of the series!
