About the Book
Book: Child of Prophecy
Author: T.E. Bradford
Genre: YA Fantasy
Release Date: August 31, 2018
How far would you go to fit in? Another world?
Fifteen-year-old Nova Hawthorne has a unique trait that sets her apart, yet she wants nothing more than to be normal and fit in.
She soon finds out that there’s a very real reason why she feels so out of place in this world—she’s from another one. And prophecy says she is destined to destroy them both.
Armed only with a magic she does not yet understand and the synesthesia no one else does, she must race to figure out how to stop prophecy from unfolding, find a father she’s never met and discover who she really is. Is it truly our differences that make us who we are? How can you be strong when you’re broken? And what happens when your actions bring about the very destruction you’ve been fighting to prevent?

My Thoughts:
I am always looking for good, clean, compelling, and fun adventurous reads for my teens. And they are hard to find. However, I have found just that kind of story in Child of Prophesy.
This is a fantasy adventure with magic and creatures that takes place in our world and in another. There is friendship, teamwork, familial love, and finding out that sometimes people are hiding their true selves. I also found that the condition the heroine had, synesthesia, and the way it was described interesting and thought in a way that would be kind of neat to experience just for a day.
This is a read for any age, not just teens, it has compelling lessons within and even though I usually don't read a lot of fantasy, this was a story I enjoyed and had a hard time putting down. I really don't want to say much more about the plot, as I find stories like this much more fun to read and experience for yourself.
I am passing this on to my teens and will be looking forward to adding the rest of the series to their library.
I was provided a copy of this novel from the author. I was not required to post a positive review and all views and opinions are my own.

More from Tracy
You’ll find music woven into nearly all my stories. This is especially true in the Divide Series books, as our heroine Nova has something called Synesthesia – a condition where your senses may overlap or cross. In Nova’s case, she can see sounds. Cool, right? On her journeys, she’ll encounter plenty of musical elements, but perhaps none as special as…THE SONG OF THE HIGH KING
There is a King on a great golden throne
His beauty and magic so great none can know
He waits and He watches His children below
Waiting to see them all come safely home.
Travel high! Travel low! Travel through that great light
In the vastness between, where His city shines bright
Travel with Him and you’ll travel no more
Rest on the sands of His celestial shore.
Drink from the fountain that never runs dry
Eat from His table’s bountiful supply
Look in His face, trace the lines of His scars
They never were His wounds… they always were ours.
Travel high! Travel low! Travel through that great light
In the vastness between, where His city shines bright
Travel with Him and you’ll travel no more
Rest on the sands of His celestial shore.
Rest on the sands of His celestial shore.
