Scion of the Oracle (Paperback)

Paperback. BOOK ONE OF THE SCION SAGA The seeds of prophecy bloom in the most unlikely of gardens. Dali is sure there is adventure and excitement beyond Telsemar's timeless, sandstone walls. Certainly something more than the daily routine of a flower delivery girl. There must be. If only she could prove herself to the secretive Society of the Divine and earn a place among its revered ranks of explorers. Under the cautious watch of her guardian and mentor, Kip, Dali wonders if she will ever find an opportunity. When Katherine, a senior member of the mysterious society, ends up missing along with the magic dagger in her possession, Dali realizes this is her chance to show her worth. Unbeknownst to both of them, this task will draw Dali and Kip deep into the hidden history of Soria and to an understanding that some pieces of the past are better left forgotten.Scion of the Oracle tells the story of two rather ordinary florists dragged into a world of secret societies, peculiar assassins, and a long-lost prophecy that could change the world forever. For those who enjoy a lively pace of storytelling in the style of Tamora Piece, or the distinctive characters of Raymond E. Feist, EA Robins offers a tale of excitement, betrayal, and family, interwoven with a touch of magic. Reviews "I enjoyed Scion of the Oracle a lot! It was fast-pace and kept me on the edge of my seat! The characters were fun to follow and I can't wait to read what happens next. I would definitely pick up the sequel." - Arthur, The Book in Hand Blog "EA Robins draws deep from the richness of the world her story's setting, and brings it vividly to life with densely threaded cultural references and descriptions." - O.R. Lea, Author "The story was great, the characters were incredible and I hope that someday this book might turn into a great web series or a show." - Rahul Hatwal, Bookstagram Reviewer What is an Of Metal and Magic CORE story? CORE stories are all set in the high fantasy world of Soria. These novels, novellas, and short stories, by every-growing group of authors, overlap and interact to build one unified canon. Creating stories within this sort of large-scale shared universe is what OMAM does best. Within the whole of the OMAM CORE series, multi-volume novels, such as SCION OF THE ORACLE, are separated into sagas. You can expect to see more from EA Robins in the future. Regarding the world of Soria, refer to the words Professor Nasrin Arakat, of the famed Telsemar University, who writes, "Soria was once a battlefield of the gods. Ten thousand years ago, dragons warred with unicorns and warred among themselves, and men ultimately bore most of the burden. In the short history of this world, tribal warriors have challenged prophets, empires have risen and fell, new races of humans have emerged and been extinguished. Magic has since disappeared, so today we are left with only stories. Some believe these stories are little more than myth. I believe there is more truth to magic than most are willing to accept."
