**Readers' Favorite 2020 5-Star Review**

A story of war, prejudice, migration, crime, love, and heartbreak. The Prophecy Saga is a fast-moving, intriguing historical tale, spanning more than 70 years.

 

It begins in the fall of 1914, where friends Gerhard Lange and Otto Schmidt are excited to receive orders to join Germany's battle with France. The two soon learn there is no glory in war. They survive, but return home broken men to work alongside their fathers to restore the farming community they fought so valiantly to protect. The years pass, but war looms once again, and the two families must relocate to the safety of Bavaria.

 

But war is again unavoidable. Soon, Gerhard and his son Paul both find themselves in an army led by a tyrant. Despite the oppression of serving on the Eastern Front, a light is cast in Paul's direction when he encounters the lovely Ilse-Renata Chemiker. As the war rages, Gerhard worries about his family back home and whether there will be a future for them at all.


The Crest is dedicated to those folks who are forced to fight for what they believe in to keep their family and their country safe. Together, The Crest, The Emerald, and The Destiny tell of the challenges and changes that external forces place on everyday people, who must rise above their own expectations to meet family obligations and responsibilities—no matter how reluctant they may be to do so. They provide the reader with an opportunity to consider life from an alternate perspective.

Author

Jerena Tobiasen

Jerena Tobiasen - award-winning author of The Prophecy, a 3-volume, historical fiction saga including The Crest, The Emerald, and The Destiny - lives in Vancouver, Canada. If she’s not home, she’s likely travelling. Jerena’s latest novel – Tsarina’s Crown – is the beginning of another adventure: The Nightingale and Sparrow Chronicles. Jerena embellishes her writing by travelling to foreign lands, visiting museums and libraries, conducting interviews, and travelling in the footsteps of her characters. Her experiences and discoveries enrich the authenticity of the historical fiction she crafts. In 2019, Jerena travelled extensively throughout southern Europe, northern Africa and the Arctic collecting data for her new series, which she wrote during the Covid ‘shut-down’. In June 2022 she and her assistant travelled throughout England and the Mediterranean to complete some last-minute research for The Nightingale and Sparrow Chronicles. Jerena also writes short stories, poetry, travel commentaries and an assortment of other writings some of which can be found on this site.
