Book description
The first book in the Broken Well trilogy, PROPHECY'S RUIN introduces
Sam Bowring, a fresh new voice in Australian fantasy. For a millennium
the lands of Kainordas and Fenvarrow have been at war, ever since the
gods of shadow and light broke the Great Well of Souls. In the absence
of victory, they have settled into an uneasy stalemate - until a
prophecy foretells of a child of power who will finally break the
balance. Each side races to find the child, and when they do, a battle
ensues with unexpected consequences and in a terrible accident, the
child's very soul is ripped in two. Each side retreats with their own
part of the child, uncertain as to whether they now possess the one
capable of finally ending their age-old battle. PROPHECY'S RUIN tells
the story of the two boys as they grow to be men. Bel becomes a
charismatic though troubled warrior, Losara an enigmatic and thoughtful
mage. Both are powerful young men, yet incomplete. As they struggle to
discover their place in the world and the shape of their destinies,
inevitably each has to ask the ultimate question: will he, one day, have
to face himself? PROPHECY'S RUIN may just be the start of the next big
thing in Australian Fantasy.' Sam Bowring is a comedian and writer.
His books include two young adult titles and the Broken Well Trilogy,
which so far incudes PROPHECY'S RUIN and DESTINY'S RIFT.
