Synopsis

The Prophecy is an epic fantasy, the story of a young prince, Lionel Balimore. Lionel struggles to overcome the obstacles of his life and live up to the expectations of his father the king. In the midst of Lionel s attempts to prove himself ready to rule, an omnipotent being returns from his exile of thousands of years in to fulfill an ancient prophecy and reclaim the land as his own. Lionel and a loyal group of friends, as well as the whole of the continent of Zalar, must unite or perish in the face of this archaic menace. The Prophecy is a tale of adventure, magic, and love. It encompasses traditional values that may be overlooked today. These values include; friendship, loyalty, faith, honor, courage, and perseverance.
