JONATHAN - A TIME OF PROPHECY

Jonathan – A Time of Prophecy is a YA fantasy adventure for all ages where the fading power of myth gives rise to a terrible new reality. As the world forgets its old stories, their abandoned energy fuels a dark uprising in the World of Tales. The sorcerer Magdulf seizes control, declares himself Emperor, and begins his plan to rule both the mythical and real worlds. To complete his domination, he must marry Cinderella — central figure of all tales — and compel a real human to legitimize his rule by uttering a forbidden spell.In the modern city, twenty-one-year-old private detective Jonathan longs to make his mark. But when a $30 million bank heist and a mysterious coma-inducing fog paralyze the city, Jonathan and his lonely twelve-year-old neighbor, Alice, stumble into a world far stranger than they imagined. Cinderella, now hiding as a pizzeria waitress named Cindie, flees from an unwanted royal marriage. Prince Phillip has come to find her, pursued by Magdulf’s cursed fog. As the four companions flee monstrous foes and magical traps, they uncover the fragile connection between their world and the World of Tales. Cindie’s godmothers appear, explaining that only a real human—Jonathan—can break Magdulf’s hold. Reluctant but curious, Jonathan and Alice cross into the story realm, where they’re separated, tested, and hunted.In a realm of swamps, demon hounds, and shadowy armies, Jonathan faces a fateful choice: embrace the dreamlike power of tales or fall for the Emperor’s seductive vision of order and justice. With spies at every turn and allies scattered, Jonathan must decide whether he truly believes in the magic of stories—and whether he can become the hero both worlds desperately need.

Focus groups of teenagers and their moms equate JONATHAN – A TIME OF PROPHECY to Tolkien’s Lord of the Rings and the Harry Potter series with relish.
