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.

Loved the main character And the world building was first rate. Enough clues that you get the idea of where the plot is headed without it being too simplistic. The tensions between Tasia and the Alpha are just right, hopefully she grows in confidence as the series progresses.

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.

I have really enjoyed this book and getting to know where Tasia will end up will definitely have me heading to the next book! It has different view on supernaturals and their relationship with each other, the world draws you in and you end up wanting to know more about each of characters as well as the main ones! 100% recommend this book

Pleasantly Surprised

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 24 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.

Tasia in turmoil

Reviewed in the United States on 6 September 2021

Verified Purchase

Tasia has a secret. Well, she has many, but 1 in particular is causing her a major issue right now- shifter mercs trying to kill her so she won't snitch about what she overheard and saw. Part of what she heard was that they had another shifter locked up. A chosen is a chosen, no matter the breed, and she can't leave someone at the hands of people happy to kill her. But, releasing the shifter brings on new problems, in the form of protection by his pack. Shifters don't like wizards, and they really would be upset if they knew she was hiding a lot of power, an interesting pedigree, and from a decades old hunt from vampires.

Spoilers ahead.
I liked it. It was hideously verbose, the language overtly ornate, but interesting. The same concepts are mentioned several dozen times, and yet very little information is actually shared.
What you learn:
*Ancients were first.
*25yrs ago the first true progress came in creating societies for chosen.
*Every breed of chosen hates the other.
*A handful of weaknesses and even less strengths of 2 select breeds of chosen.
And that's it for world building. What we never learn:
*What ancients are, where they came from, how the breeds came about.
*Why it took millennia for a society to form. Humans took less time, had an industrial revolution and a couple world wars before the "superior species" pulled it together. And how did a shifter get the other factions to follow his concept?
*Tasia is afraid of vampires. Everyone else hates vampires but won't band together against them.
*There's some law about not revealing themselves to humans.
We never learn how many kinds of wizards there are, what levels mean and where they top out, how you know you're a wizard at L1 if you have no magic, why guardians exist if they don't really do anything. This is a modern paranormal fantasy. All the conveniences of modern times with supernaturals lurking within humanity. But it is very plot driven (sort of) and character driven (again, sort of). I say sort of because the plot both plods on and is choppy, and we learn about secondary characters more than main. POV bounces within paragraphs, it also includes more than the 2 MCs. We see from at least a dozen other POVs. And still, with all the layers upon layers and misdirections, skipped but later mentioned plot points, and confusing POV, it was really interesting. I didn't care for the overly apologetic tone Tasia adopted at the end. They both did wrong, spoke wrong and behaved poorly. I also don't understand why she can't say what she is since she's already protected, only the most trusted would be told anyway, she's already hunted on 2 fronts, and what she can do can probably actually help remove some of her own threats. Especially where they entangle with the wizards. If you discovered your (not spoiling) killed (not spoiling) and you were actively being hinted by (not spoiling) why wouldn't you weaponize it?? Modern conveniences! There are a dozen ways to deposit (not spoiling) into weaponable means to protect yourself. There's hiding for safety, and then there's just not thinking outside the box you're hiding in. But I'm really curious to see if now that the foundation has been laid, of the pace will pick up a bit and start moving forward more. And if we get some more information on the different factions.

So good

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.
