A heroic tale for the whole family, Destiny Denied (first published in 1994) is a romantic fantasy filled with daring escapades, murderous villains, political intrigue, and inspirational triumphs. When dark forces descend upon the wild plains of Zireth, all hope turns to the prophetic Chosen One, whose death will prove to be the salvation of the land. Pursued by this unhealthy destiny, Aron, a philosophical young Pylorian Wizard, is joined by a ruthless princess and an enigmatic young sorceress as he faces wraith-beasts, assassins, and treachery in a struggle far beyond their imaginations.
