Synopsis

"Close your eyes, Ela of Parne. Close your eyes and you will see." Ela Roeh of Parne doesn't understand why her beloved Creator, the Infinite, wants her to become His prophet. She’s undignified, bad tempered, and only seventeen—not to mention that no prophet of Parne has ever been a girl. Worst of all, as the elders often warn, if she agrees to become the Infinite's prophet, Ela knows she will die young. "Istgard has turned their back on Me. See the evil they do." Yet after experiencing His presence, she can't imagine living without Him. Determined to follow the Infinite's voice, Ela accepts the sacred vinewood branch and is sent to bring the Infinite’s word to a nation torn apart by war. Here she meets Kien, a young Traceland ambassador determined to bring his own justice for his oppressed people. As they form an unlikely partnership, Ela must surrender to her destiny... and determine how to balance the leading of her heart with the leading of the Infinite. "Will you accept the branch and speak My will? Will you be My prophet?"

I’ve been bringing books that I loved in the past and that impacted my faith in some way to a girl at my church. When the youth group girls started doing a Bible study on Elijah, I knew this book was t......more

Goodreads review by Matthew on March 06, 2017

I enjoyed the book and the growth of the characters and their relationships through it. Ela (the prophet and main character) I found to be a little too unquestioning to what she was being asked to do, but as a prophet I guess this is how it has to be. Anyone with a strong sense of faith would no dou......more
