Bound by Prophecy

Written by Melissa Wright

Narrated by Kirby Heyborne

Aern's only job is to protect the chosen. The trouble is, the girl's the key to a prophecy and everyone wants her. Hiding her in the center of a secret war is tricky business, but when the girl's sister shows up to take Aern hostage, all bets are off. 

A slim brunette in borrowed jeans should be the least of Aern's problems but there's something about Emily he just can't put to rights. And it's not her penchant for using hand tools as weapons or the fact that she seems immune to his sway. 

Everything about her screams run. When he discovers she's working toward her own prophecy, Aern has no choice but to keep her safe. It might be easy if she didn't think she was the chosen's protector instead of him. When the opposition descends, their only hope is to stick together, but the truth unravels, and sticking together might prove the biggest complication of them all.

Melissa Wright

Melissa is the author of more than a dozen YA and fantasy novels including The Frey Saga and Between Ink and Shadows. When not writing she can generally be found talking with an author friend about a book, painting something from a book, or tucked between headphones listening to a book. It’s kind of a theme. She loves reasonable heroines in unreasonable situations, noble--if brooding--heroes, slow burn and sweet kisses, a lot of havoc, and a little magic.

Reviews for Bound by Prophecy

[Janessa Miran · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

Venturing into this new world was a joy and the narration was fantastic. Definitely worth a listen; 10/10 recommend.

Going to stick with this one and see where it goes.

[April Davis · Rating: 1 out of 5 stars]

Confusion & whiplash
We get dropped in the middle of a 200 page action sequence with no world building or character development. It ends on an up note minutes after he stabs her sister. Wtf?

I kept going because reviews of book 2 say it's better than book 1 & because the book is short. I also mostly listened to it on a road trip with little radio service & this is what I had downloaded before leaving. I was stuck with it. If I had known what a cluster this would be, I would have avoided it.
