Close your eyes and you will see.<\/p>\n<p>Ela Roeh of Parne doesn&#8217;t understand why her beloved Creator, the Infinite, wants her to become His prophet. She&#8217;s undignified, bad tempered, and only seventeen&#8211;not to mention that no prophet of Parne has ever been a girl. Worst of all, as the elders often warn, if she agrees to become the Infinite&#8217;s prophet, Ela knows she will die young.<\/p>\n<p>Istgard has turned their back on me. See the evil they do.<\/p>\n<p>Yet after experiencing His presence, she can&#8217;t imagine living without Him. Determined to follow the Infinite&#8217;s voice, Ela accepts the sacred vinewood branch and is sent to bring the Infinite&#8217;s word to a nation torn apart by war. Here she meets Kien, a young Traceland ambassador determined to bring his own justice for his oppressed people. As they form an unlikely partnership, Ela must surrender to her destiny . . . and determine how to balance the leading of her heart with the leading of the Infinite.<\/p>\n<p>Will you accept the branch and speak my will? Will you be my prophet?<\/p>\n<p>If you would like to read the first chapter of <a href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/exec\/obidos\/ASIN\/076420971X\">Prophet<\/a>, go <a href=\"http:\/\/thestorybeginnings.blogspot.com\/2012\/04\/prophet.html\">HERE<\/a>.<br \/>\nLearn more about R.
