Series: Rose of the Prophet, Book 2
Synopsis: The Great War of the Gods means nothing to the proud people on the mortal planet--until Akhran the Wandering God decrees the union of two mighty feuding clans. Though the families are fierce Warriors, they are few in number. Even the marriage of Khardan and Zohra is not enough to over power the strength of the invading army or prevent the imprisonment of their peoples.
Now, with Khardan and Zohra mysteriously missing--seemingly cowards who hid from certain defeat--the two clans have lost all hope of ever again seeing their beloved open skies. But Prince Khardan and Princess Zohra, aided by the wizard Mathew, have been given another mission...a mission that at first seems less useful than counting the many grains of the desert sands, but soon proves to be of far more lasting importance.
Review: This book was even more exciting than the first one! One God, Quar, has decided to become the only God and he will stop at nothing to cause the other Gods to vanish from the world.
The Goddess Death is involved in his plans, unknowingly. The messengers of the gods are vanishing. People are being put to death. It is jihad in the mortal realm and in the heavens.
Incredible, impossible to put down. I can't wait for the final, sure to be dramatic, ending to this trilogy!
Rating: 8.5 / 10
Is this a new series or the original? I never got around to reading them, but I'm sure we had some in my first library.

I'm going to have to admit it's the original. Published in 1989, this treasure has been sitting on my TBR since 2008. I really have no excuse except this: I keep getting more books!!
