Prophecy by Ellen Oh

Prophecy by Ellen Oh

For fans of bestselling author Marie Lu comes this heart-stopping first book in Ellen Oh's trilogy about the greatest warrior in all of the Seven Kingdoms . . . a girl with yellow eyes. Intrigue and mystery, ancient lore and action-packed fantasy come together in this incredible debut

Kira's the only female in the king's army, and she's also the prince's bodyguard. A demon slayer and an outcast, she's hated by nearly everyone in her home city of Hansong. And she's their only hope. . . .

Murdered kings and discovered traitors point to a demon invasion, sending Kira on the run with the young prince. He may be the savior predicted in the Dragon King's prophecy, but the legendary lost ruby treasure just might be the true key to victory. With only the guidance of the cryptic prophecy, Kira must battle demon soldiers, an evil shaman, and the Demon Lord himself to find what was once lost, while raising a prince into a king.

Ellen Oh is the cofounder and president of We Need Diverse Books (WNDB), as well as the author of the YA fantasy trilogy The Prophecy series and the upcoming middle-grade novel The Spirit Hunters. Publishers Weekly named her one of the Remarkable Persons of 2014. At one of her first book festivals, Ellen met Walter Dean Myers and his son Christopher Myers. Her mouth dropped open as she saw the couple towering over the crowd, which had already made her nervous. Chris and Walter took pity on an awestruck Ellen and introduced themselves, and they couldn't have been nicer, taking her under their wings and treating her like an old friend.

Oh, her husband, and their three children, live in Bethesda, Maryland. Visit ellenoh.com to learn more.
