Discover the adventure that launched the Giftedverse series in Prophecy a supernatural coming-of-age novel from YA author Amanda Lynn Petrin.


Dubbed ‘that weird Owens girl’ since grade school, Lucy can’t wait for her fresh start at college in the Fall. Instead, a mysterious threat forces her into hiding, where she is haunted by memories of her ancestors, to whom Lucy bears a striking resemblance, down to the crescent moon birthmark on the back of their necks.

As Lucy uncovers the secrets of her past, she is unwittingly thrust into a game of cat and mouse against an army of Gifted (people with supernatural abilities who can't die until their purpose is achieved). A game her family has been failing for centuries.

Luckily, Embry and Gabriel, two mysterious family friends, are also Gifted, and claim their purpose is to protect Lucy’s line. But as she gets to know them and her family’s history better, she wonders if their ultimate goal is to keep her safe...or to stop the man who’s after her?

Prophecy is the first book in this complete trilogy by Amanda Lynn Petrin. If you like urban fantasy series with strong heroines and a touch of history, you’ll love this absorbing paranormal read.

Super Interesting!I loved reading a supernatural book that isn't just about vampires or witches! The concept is super creative and kept me on my toes trying to figure it out!-Rikki Cavanagh

Amazing read! Kept me wanting to turn the page.-Sandra Wyngaert

From the Back Cover

I was falling, the air like ice against my face, but a calm rushed over me, like I was finally at peace. He wasn't going to get me. We were safe...
When eighteen-year-old honor student Lucy Owens discovers her family secret, she must leave the world she knows behind to avoid a fate worse than death.
Dubbed "that weird Owens girl" since grade school, Lucy struggled to find her place in the small, New England town she grew up in. She lived a quiet, sheltered life with her guardians, surrounded by the memories of her ancestors. Lucy bears a striking resemblance to some of these Owens women, down to the crescent moon shaped birthmark on the back of their necks.

Among her only visitors are two young men, Embry and Gabriel, who claim to be friends of the family. When prom night takes a sour turn, Lucy is forced to take shelter with them from a mysterious man hell-bent on acquiring her.

She also discovers that Embry and Gabriel are Gifteds, a subset of humans with supernatural abilities who don't die until their job is done. In this case, they claim their job is to protect Lucy's line. But as she gets to know them and her family's history better, she has to wonder if their ultimate goal is to keep her safe, or to stop the man who's after her?

Prophecy is a coming of age supernatural novel by Amanda Lynn Petrin. If you like strong heroines who keep fighting no matter how many times they are knocked down, then you'll love this paranormal adventure.

5.0 out of 5 stars Very interesting and original story

I like this book and enjoyed reading it. There were many telling parts but generally a fantastic storyline that will get you reading till the end. You will keep wondering about Lucy's life and what would happen to her. The unusual two people Embry and Gabriel who kept visiting her would also make you go deeper and deeper into the story. Then comes the Big Bad who was after her, this will make you wonder all through put the novel searching for how she would survive. I enjoyed the book and would recommend it to anyone interested in a good and original storyline with deep background into the past.

3.0 out of 5 stars An interesting storyline
Reviewed in the United States on April 12, 2021

The storyline began well but quickly lost my interest with too many characters that came in out of the story with no reason. Perhaps if some rationale was given early on as to why the young girl was being chased would have made the story flow better. Many sections were also slow and redundant and it was not until almost mid to end of story that my interest peaked. Nonetheless, the Storyline was original and I'm curious as to what happens next.

Lucy has lost so much. Her parents are dead. Her grandmother is gone. The housekeepers and their son Sam must raise her. Gabriel and Embry come to visit when she's little and become her guards. It seems they have a vested interest in her safety. Someone wants her dead and have gone after all of the women in her ancestry line.

Sam is now married with a daughter of his own. He knows what's at stack with Lucy. He knows that Gabriel and Embry are very old and their job is to protect Lucy and keep her away from Donavan. Can they do it?? Who will be the next one to lose their life??

It's an interesting story. Read on my friends

This fantasy surprised me. I don't like giving away anything, so I'll just say it had a lot of twists I didn't see coming. It was a fund read, and I very much loved the characters. I can't wait to read the next book.

I didn't really feel that the plot advanced much through the book. The identity of the big bad is still unknown. His connection with Lucy and the reason for the pursuit through the centuries is still unknown.

Loved the book, thought nice enough, but as I got into the story I wanted to find out more. Who was Annabel, who is Lucie, who are Gabriel & Embry. What is going on who or what are chasing them. Can't wait for next book. Recommend to paranormal readers.

2.0 out of 5 stars What can I say? This book was just, well, boring.
Reviewed in Australia on March 20, 2021
Verified Purchase
Prophecy had an interesting premise, but the story was very much same old, same old. At the start, I got a bit of a Vampire Diaries vibe with Lucy's doppelgänger situation, and the two never-aging men who loved her and swore to protect her, and I was expecting it to go that way. I was expecting either a love-triangle, or a slow-burn romance, neither eventuated (maybe it's coming in the second book?).

So, what did we get?
- Secrets kept for the sake of keeping them.
- A scene at prom, which I thought was going to relate to the over arching story line - but didn't.
- A best friend, who I thought was going to be a bigger part of the story - but wasn't.
- A male best friend, who was conveniently paired with said female best friend, and then pretty much ignored.

- Then:
run, hide (at a place that is known to be owned by her family, only a few miles away from her house, so not a good place to be), secrets for the sake of secrets, expositional flashback, be discovered.
Run, hide (at a place it is not logical is discovered so quickly), expositional flashback, be discovered. Run, hide (at a place where she should be safe for months, if not a year), expositional dialogue, be discovered.
Run, hide, (at a place where no one knew she was heading - seriously, does this bad guy have a tracking device on her?), be discovered.
Final confrontation, fight, run, hide, expositional flashback, fall out of a tree, villain monologuing, death of family member, taken.
Fight, run, fight some more, escape.
Decide to stop running and start fighting (in the next book).

It was slow paced, and repetitive. There were hints of good ideas, which were not explored. There was no real tension or stakes, and things that were set up in the opening part of the story (all her grandma's rituals) were completely forgotten. I didn't have an emotional connection to the main character, and the rest of the characters didn't really seem like more than cardboard cut outs to me. Embry is the happy-go-lucky protector, Gabriel is the brooding protector with a heart of gold that he hides from the world.

This book just felt like the set up for the next book, and I don't feel that it stood on its own.

I thought the book had a great premise, but felt a lacking in the main female character. I kept wanting more development, enlightenment, or even a power. Really it was more frustrating than anything. Would love a reread if the story was - I don’t know- just more.
