After finding a mysterious artifact, a group of researchers watch the three tales contained within it. These three stories are related here. Each one occurs in a very different time and place. The middle one seems to have taken place in the past, though when is rather uncertain; and the final one has the feel of being both in the distant future and past.

In both, characters find their meaning through love. However, the first one is the most compelling of the three, and if you buy the book only to read Child of Prophecy, you will be getting a good deal. Like the saga began in the Blue Flame, a fantasy world is intertwined with the modern, familiar reality.

Brianna finds her big break in the catering business both exciting and daunting, as she is not sure she can assemble a party for a hundred people in two days' span. However, her potential employer, Mason, has every confidence in her and won't take no for an answer. Catering is not what he really wants from her in any case. What he wants is far more. His life has been bound to Brianna's for many lifetimes. Together, they are destined to journey to another world where they will unite their strengths with the sorceress Mirabella and her true love, Christian, to bring about a prophecy that will prevent eternal darkness from overtaking the land.

The problem is, Christian has been captured by a dark witch, Katarina, who wants to replace Mirabella in the prophecy, thus preventing the light and bringing darkness. Dangerous passions and wild magic conflagulate to a stunning conclusion that can not leave you unmoved.

This is a truly memorable story, compacting all the best of epic fantasy into a small space.

Synopsis
During an archaeological dig, three young scientists discover a mysterious tube shaped like an obelisk, made of a material none of them is familiar with. The team is stunned when one of them accidentally triggers a message inside the object that contains a visual record of planets, races, and religions, and leads them down a path of knowledge they could never have anticipated, a path that leads to the Stargazer.

In Stargazer's Children, an anthology, readers are first introduced to Earth and an alternate world of magic and malevolence, a world rich with eroticism and cruelty in "Child of Prophecy", written by Barbara M. Hodges, author of the Daradawn series.

The second story, "Child of Sorrow", written by Jennifer des' Plantes, takes readers to a land where chosen children pour their feelings into the Tree of Offering. When one of the children vanishes, the others are forced to face a disconnected, unknown future fraught with danger and discovery.

In the third story, "Child of the Stars", by Maggie Pucillo, two ancient cultures - one bound to the starship Gebo and the other bound to the watery planet Al-Meza - come together to find they are strangely alike in ways they could never have imagined.
