A warlord’s wrath forces a mother and daughter to flee for their lives. Despite being prescient, they cannot foresee all that lies ahead since the future, on a grand scale, is determined by so many yet-unmade decisions, theirs and uncounted others. Quickly separated in a land torn apart by war, their every effort centers around reunion and survival.
In a world facing two divergent futures—eventual freedom or complete domination—a world in which young and old, rich or poor, must defend themselves against armed marauders and the armies of the powerful, a young girl foresees that, if she elects to travel to the conflict’s center and lends her support to one of the two major powers, she has the ability to influence the outcome.
Foretellers, the third volume of The Ydron Saga, is the second book of Awakening’s prequel trilogy.
Raymond Bolton lives near Portland, Oregon with his wife, Toni, and their cats, Max and April. Reviewers have been generous with praise, offering such comments as, “Eschewing the more commonly overt manifestations of alien technology and the well toted elements of fanciful magic, Bolton breathes originality into the genre with his singular focus on telepathy.”
