Always an avid reader, Melaine Bryant has a background in English and classical literature and languages. She had intended to follow her father's footsteps to a Ph.D. in English Literature, but found that writing The Prophecy Keepers series was much more fun.
The Prophecy Keepers is the first in a series of five fantasy books written for young adults. The story covers five months in the life of Lisandra Ackart, five months that see her embark on a journey of discovery and magical adventure that will delight and thrill readers in equal measure. The opening chapters of The Phophecy Keepers are excellent, the scene is set, the characters introduced and the story begins to unfold with admirable patience.
