Prophet of the Badlands by Matthew S. CoxMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
The Price Of Innocence?
This series must be read in order. This is the first book. I can't wait to read Archon's Queen!
Althea is the Prophet. Her eyes glow and she can see in the dark. She cannot truly remember a time she was not owned... Or stolen on a regular basis. Her healing powers make her highly in demand, especially in the Badlands. Her legend keeps her somewhat safe... For the most part. She does not fight and she never runs, but she ends up being caged anyway. Den makes her feel like a real girl. He is neither afraid of her or wants to own her. He is the first person she has cared about since forever. Too bad the rest of the Tribe is pretty much afraid of her and keeps her locked up. She would do anything for Den... Well almost anything! She'd not let him wife her even though they will go through the joining ceremony if his father allows it. What is menacing Den? Can she save him from it? Will she be able to stay with the Tribe? Or will she get stolen again? Why does everyone she love end up getting hurt because of her? Will she ever find peace, acceptance, and a place to belong?
***This series is suitable for adult readers who enjoy futuristic sci-fi action adventure set in a post postapocalyptic dystopian world rife with mutants and superstitions while paranormal elements fight behind the scenes for control of the people living in the wild untamed areas where technology has gone so wrong and modernity doesn't encroach ;)
