For centuries the residents of Solsyl lived in peace and harmony with the planet. Then the dragon-demons arrived, causing the Great Shuddering. Majikals from everywhere scurried to find shelter from the evil while humans hid. Laud regretted his rash decision of exiling the demons on Solsyl and asked one of his advisors, a member of The Conscientia, to protect his people. Jeremiah Holyfield agreed to leave the peaceful world of Revrum Natura for a life of constant strife and fear on the newly renamed planet of Dracwald. But Narciss, ruler of Tartarus and King of the demons, desperately wants what Jeremiah has sworn to protect—a Prophecy predicting Narciss’s doom. And Narciss refuses to take no for an answer. But Jeremiah discovers allies along his path and even true love, which he never dreamed possible. But forever is a long time to protect something without ever letting down one’s guard.

I enjoyed the story of Jeremiah Holyfield and wanted to know more about the prophecy and the teens of which it speaks. This book is a standalone and can be read at any point in the series. I hadn't realised when I started reading that none of the teens would feature in this story, so I kept wondering when one would pop up. D'oh!

Prophecy provides some background information about the world - Dracwald - in which the Seraphym Wars unfolds. On this planet evil dragons terrorize humans, and the opening of the book brings that terror into full focus. The opening of the book is however the most dramatic and the rest of the book is more suspenseful.

It's a fairly short book - at seventy-ish pages - and I was expecting more resolution, but then realised that really the book does a good job of bringing the reader into Dracwald and providing some background information. Although not the first book in the series, Prophecy certainly has peaked my interest in the series.

If you liked Paolini's books, I think you'll enjoy Rebecca Ryals Russell. http://krweinert.blogspot.com/2011/10/prophecy-by-rebecca-ryals-russell.html
