Erase all your worries of the day by picking up The Prophecy, and going along on an enchanting journey though time and space with the novel's main character, Yorda. The richness of characters and divine characterization of events draws you in, and soon you feel mesmerized. Maybe this is due to the inventive language the author brings to life, making you feel as though you're part of this unique society of magical beings and happenings.  Elves who could evaluate passersby with one whiff of their body odor, yet for their own survival these elves possessed no detectable scent (except to other elves). Being void of distinguishable aroma was the vital component necessary for keeping elves safe from predators who remained in constant pursuit.As each page of fantasy unfolds, you find yourself becoming savvy to this different world filled with mystique, and as the end draws near, you feel sad knowing this place you've become so comfortable within, will no longer exist.But wait. You get to continue on this captivating voyage by reading the second book of this trilogy.  Paul Hughes is an excellent writer and weaver of tales, and I intend to read this entire trilogy.  The first is a splendid read that I highly recommended.
