    Prophet of the Badlands Series

    By Matthew S. Cox

    ()

    About this series

    Giant insects and murderous raiders are a daily nuisance in the Badlands; Althea faces a new, even more confusing challenge—friends.

     

    Being the Prophet had some good parts: no one dared hurt her and she got to heal people. It also had bad parts, like constant kidnapping. In all her twelve years of life, she couldn't remember spending more than a few months in the same place… until now.

     

    In Querq, Althea is safe and loved. She isn't sure how to simply 'be friends' with other kids her age. It's a weird experience, but one she's trying to learn… until an outsider brings a reminder she is far from ordinary.

     

    The visitor speaks of a village stricken by angry, vengeful spirits where everyone is sick or dying. It's a first to be asked for help instead of taken.

     

    Althea can't say no, even if she might not make it home.

      Althea struggles to adapt to an unexpected twist in her life—not being kidnapped in six whole months.   The strange police from the faraway city claim the abilities she thought of as magic are really 'psionics,' and say she is far stronger than anyone they have ever seen. Despite their curiosity, they let her remain in the Badlands to protect her from an evil they call corporations. Of course, Althea knows all too well how powerful her healing gift is. For most of her life, she'd been a prize taken in raids. Tribes have killed to own her, and she let them.   But the Prophet is done being passive.   Having a family changes everything. No longer afraid to use her powers to protect herself, Althea refuses to be taken again… even when corporate mercenaries find her.
