Fate Rides Wicked — Jonathan Biviano

Heroes are often unwilling. Some refuse to be called heroes. But when you're a child of prophecy, blessed with abilities beyond your own comprehension, can you turn down your destiny? Not when "Fate Rides Wicked." This saying is not just a philosophy of his race, but the story of Tych's life, as fate forces him to fulfill his destiny. The proof of prophecy, Tych is thrust into a role he didn't want, to free the continent of Li from the grasps of a terrible evil.With the help of Lendril, a warrior and the love of his life, and a loyal group of followers, Prince Tych must unite a land divided by evil, hate, and prejudice. Prophecy requires him to lead the united land against Rangdor, a powerful escapee from hell. He finds himself not only fighting his lack of desire to see it through, but also the hatred and prejudice of humans towards his race, the endarils. Challenged by Rangdor's minions at every turn, Tych has to overcome the intrigue and divisions of the land to save even those that hate him. With help from the enchanted races and enlightened humans, Tych marches towards his goal. The question is: can you really succeed at being a hero when you don't want to be one?
