The Last Gate Series chronicles the history and political intrigues of a Jantidevan dynasty, where the crimes of a selfish ruler shapes the destiny of over one hundred generations of his people and imperils the fate of a special race of beings called Ver dala Ven. In Betnoni's Prophecy: Cobo is Ver dala Ven, a magical being who is thought to be the last of his kind. A forbidden romance with the monarch he served resulted in a child that he could not claim. Unable to endure the heartbreak of losing both his lover and son, he turned his back on his responsibilities and went into exile. Eighteen years later Cobo is called home by a vision that outlines his true destiny. He must reconcile with his past mistakes and his estranged son in order to usher in the first sign of an ancient prophecy promising the return of his kind and the singing spirit guide that once empowered his race. Very highly recommended for fantasy fans and science fiction enthusiasts, Betnoni's Prophecy is an evocative story filled with sensual description and exotic culture blended with down-to-earth heroes and villains.
