Child of Prophecy by T.E. Bradford (Divide Series #1)

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 Review:

This book is awesome. Anyone in their younger teens and up should love this story. I certainly do! It's simple and complexed. It hits the core of a very human issue that has no age limits, the problem with fitting in. From "magic" that's gift like, to the parallel to Earth kind of world the story is set in, this book is riveting, the characters endearing, and the only downside is waiting for more in this series. 

It works as an allegory for Christian themes, without pulling me out of the story. I am really looking forward to more of this series and thinking about adding it to my give as a gift list.

 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.
