Product Description
Lord Ladnor is not a Believer, nor does he have any interest in becoming a national hero. He wants only to stay at home and rule Sha, Omirr's largest and richest province. When his long-unseen uncle--Omirr's Lord Protector--summons him to the corrupt and crumbling capital, what Ladnor learns forces him to abandon his isolationist ideals. The assassination of the entire royal line has left Ladnor the only heir to the Protectorship, a position that would obligate him to marry the reigning High Priestess, a woman of power and mystery, whose abilities have made her unpopular and feared. Ladnor stubbornly declines the Protectorship, but he may have no choice. Ancient prophecy has named the Lord of Sha as the key to Omirr's survival, linking him and the High Priestess together in the struggle to save Omirr from impending disaster. Together they must quickly discover the secrets of the past to save their country's future. Prophecy Denied is a fantasy based on faith and it is the first book in the Seasons of Time series.

 An Original Voice January 29, 2005
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
Prophecy Denied is the first published effort of an original voice that needs to be heard in a wilderness of mediocrity. At a time when so many authors seem to think more words make better stories, Rigdon's engaging characters and brilliant dialogue stand out for their economy of words. I've seen it refered to as thin, but Hemingway was often accused of the same thing. Don't overlook this gem. This is the sort of writing that is rapidly become a lost art in publishers' chase for dollars, and deserves to be read.
 Well Written April 5, 2003
Rigdon presents a mesmerizing and original style of writing. The relationships of her central characters are fascinating. However, the story lacks complexity and momentum. Its simple plot is thinly scraped on the pages, desperately trying to fill them for as long as possible. Though, the dialogue is a work of art, and I hope other authors will follow Rigdon's revolutionary style.
The epic high fantasy saga of a reluctant hero July 6, 2002
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
M. L. Rigdon's Prophecy Denied (Book One in the "Seasons of Time" trilogy) is the epic high fantasy saga of a reluctant hero and the high priestess he is fated to marry. Together, they must combine forces to uncover past secrets and save their nation. A high-spirited and thoroughly entertaining tale of two people's journey and a nation's a quest to survive, Prophecy Denied is especially recommended for fantasy fans and genre enthusiasts who will look forward to the next to volumes in this planned trilogy: Beyond The Dark Mountains and Quest For The Lance.
