In RHAPSODY a fellowship was forged, three companions who triumphed over adversity: Rhapsody, a singer of great talent and beauty; Achmed, the enigmatic assassin; and Grunthor, the gruff, warm hearted, deadly Firbolg. Together they faced an ancient evil; the demon F'dor. In PROPHECY they learned they might be their world's only hope, heroes spoken of in the Prophecy of the Three. In DESTINY, Rhapsody and Achmed seek out the offspring of the F'dor, hoping to use them to hunt it down, while Grunthor prepares the Bolg for war. But the world is crossing the threshold of disaster and faces utter oblivion. In DESTINY, Haydon brings the action to a fever pitch, achieving a crescendo of tragedy, love, and triumph of their human spirit over world-shattering cataclysm.

Industry Reviews

Barely a week passes without some new fantasy trilogy forcing its way into an overcrowded field. So why should we pay attention to Haydon? Certainly eyebrows were raised at the $3m film deal signed on the basis of a synopsis for her earlier Rhapsody, but (fortunately) the writing has justified the hype. While Haydon sometimes adopts the purple prose that is the curse of the genre, she is a writer of real distinction, with the adventure of Destiny conjured with maximum vividness. In Rhapsody a fellowship was created: three companions who found themselves to be the world's only hope. The eponymous Rhapsody, a singer, Achmed, the enigmatic assassin, and Grunthor (shame about the Dickensian name), the abrasive muscle of the group. The trio may be the only hope for averting a world-threatening catastrophe. Haydon's interest in folklore pays off handsomely here, and she creates her own mythology with effortless skill.
