Since time began, twenty Gods have ruled the universe. Though each god possessed different abilities, each was all-powerful within his realm. Now one of the Gods has upset the balance of power, leaving the others scrambling for control in the new order... Here is the epic tale of the Great War of the Gods--and the proud people upon whom the fate of the world depends. When the God of the desert, Akhran the Wanderer, declares that two clans must band together despite their centuries-old rivalry, their first response is outrage. But they are a devout people and so reluctantly bow to his bidding. Enemies from birth, the headstrong Prince Khardan and impetuous Princess Zohra must unite in marriage to stop Quar, the God of Reality, Greed, and Law, from enslaving their people. But can Khardan and Zohra keep from betraying each other? Can their two peoples maintain their fragile alliance until the long-awaited flowering of the legendary Rose of the Prophet? Against the powerful legions of the evil Amir, Khardan and Zohra fight to save the desert people--a fight unexpectedly joined by an exiled wizard named Matthew and the mysterious powers of his alien land.… (más)
To confront a divine threat, the Wandering God Akhran forces the representatives of two nomadic desert tribes -- Princess Zohra and Calif Khardan -- to marry. Problematically, their two tribes have been at war for generations. Further complicating matters is Matthew, a young wizard from across the sea and the newest member of Khardan's totally celibate harem. Wacky hijinks ensue.
I was weeding out my paperback collection in preparation for another trip to Favorite Used Bookstore, and I pulled out the Rose of the Prophet trilogy, which I adored in middle school. It holds up surprisingly well. The book is completely brainless -- especially in its Technicolor simplification of Bedouin culture -- but it bounces so briskly along that the reader has no time to nitpick. ( )
I love this series! Possibly even more than the original Dragonlance books. Can’t belive I first read them nearly 30 years ago - wow. You really want to know what happens to the characters, especially Mathew. ( )
This is an amazingly powerful trilogy. The people are complex, strongly portrayed, and have a sense of self unlike any I've encountered in books before. Their gods are powerful, believable, and- perhaps most importantly of all- have deeply human emotions that make them very likeable. The plot is tightly woven, dropping the reader into the blackest pits of despair yet still somehow retaining that small, impossibly held hope that somehow, someway, everything will work out. A masterful work of art worthy of J.R.R. Tolkien himself, and a must read for anyone who loves fantasy. ( )
The start of a new fantasy series by Weis and Hickman. Like their previous series, it centers around a few heroes who are unlikely companions that must work together to thwart the will of an evil god. The setting is new and the story is good, but really, its not that different from Darksword or Dragonlance, just in a different setting. I enjoyed it, but it isn't all that great. ( )
