Synopsis

When 11-year-old Nickie Randolph arrives in Yonwood, North Carolina, she finds a town ruled by religion and prophecy, strong notions about sin and goodness, and a house filled with mysteries. THE PROPHET OF YONWOOD, the long-awaited prequel to bestsellers THE CITY OF EMBER and THE PEOPLE OF SPARKS, opens during "the Crisis," 50 years before war and destruction leave the world ravaged. Going through her late great-grandfather's belongings with her aunt, Nickie finds the town in the grips of the fiery visions of Althea Tower, called the Prophet. A timely novel about war, chaos, and moral challenges.
