Prophecy

By Peter James
Prophecy by Peter James digital book - Fable

Publisher Description

A game that turns to a nightmare ...

Non Omnis Moriar
I shall not altogether die

A young boy watches his mother die. A sadistic man dies in agony. Drunk students play with a Ouija board in a damp cellar. Can bricks and mortar retain imprints of the emotions experienced within them?

Frannie is delighted when a chance meeting with a handsome man and his son leads to a romance. The fact that the relationship is marred by gruesome tragedies, she dismisses as an unsettling coincidence. But eventually she can no longer ignore the fact that she is the only thing linking these horrible events. Is it a murderous practical joke?

Or worse...?

“"Prophecy" by Peter James is an intriguing tale of chance encounters, mysterious connections, and the ominous weight of a family motto. The story begins with archaeologist Frannie Monsanto, who, by a twist of fate, becomes entangled in the lives of Oliver Halkin and his young son, Edward. As the narrative unfolds, it becomes evident that the paths of these characters have crossed and recrossed over the years, raising questions about the nature of their connections. Frannie, initially accepting the strange coincidences surrounding her new relationship, soon finds herself confronted by a series of horrifying incidents that defy any rational explanation. The novel's strength lies in its ability to build an atmosphere of creeping dread and uncertainty. It leads readers down a path where the line between reality and nightmare blurs, leaving them as bewildered as the characters themselves. The concept of the Halkin family motto, "Non Omnis Moriar – I shall not altogether die," becomes increasingly ominous as the story unfolds. Frannie's realization that she must prevent her own terrifying fate adds a sense of urgency to the narrative. While the story begins at a measured pace, the deliberate setup is essential to the gradual escalation of tension and suspense. As the relationship between the characters descends into a bizarre nightmare, the pace quickens, and the true horror of their situation becomes apparent. In summary, "Prophecy" by Peter James is a novel that starts slowly but steadily gains momentum as it explores themes of fate, coincidence, and the unexplained. The deliberate pacing at the beginning serves to heighten the impact of the story's eerie and unsettling events. If you enjoy mysteries that gradually build suspense and lead to a chilling climax, "Prophecy" is a book that will keep you engaged until the very end.”
