Description
“But what are we without dreams?”
A world kept peaceful for a thousand years by the magic of the ruling vicars. But a threat lurks from a violent past. Wizards from the darkness have hidden their knowledge in a place called the keep and left a trail of clues that have never been solved.
Nathaniel has grown up longing for more but unwilling to challenge the vicars. Until his friend Thomas is taken for a teaching. Thomas returns but with his dreams ripped away. When Orah is taken next, Nathaniel tries to rescue her and ends up in the prisons of Temple City. There he meets the first keeper of the ancient clues. But when he seeks the keep, what he finds
is not magic at all.
If he reveals the truth, he risks the words of the book of light coming to pass:
“If there comes among you a prophet saying ‘Let us return to the darkness,’ you shall stone him, because he has sought to thrust you away from the light.”

Advance Praise
“There Comes a Prophet is about a society devoid of technology, the result
of an overreaction to a distant past where progress had overtaken humanity
and led to social collapse. The solution—an enforced return to a simpler
time. But Prophet is also a coming of age story, a tale of three friends and
their loyalty to each other as they struggle to confront a world gone awry.”
"...the superb storyline and continually developing characters illuminate
this engaging, futuristic tale...A must-read page turner." - Kirkus Review
