Sisters of Light: Book 1 Dancers of Light and Darkness (eBook, ePUB)

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

Sisters of Light is the first book of the trilogy, Dancers of Light and Darkness, an epic fantasy series about a young Sister of Light, Iya-Ko-Naya, and her promise-bound Brother of Light, Shatwa Hei, who with the help of their Warrior friends and Medicine-skilled relations are challenged, sometimes brutally, to reawaken the long-forgotten memories that give them their Medicine skills.

The story begins as Iya and her tiny Sister-cousin, Sweet-Star, are led by an ancient, sentient being to discover the skills of their long-forgotten maternal legacy. Unprotected, and willfully disregarding all rules of safety, the two tiny girls obsessively pursue the ancient mysteries that are revealed to them within their dreams.

Always at risk of being confronted by Dark Wolves, the two girls clandestinely search for hidden secrets they believe lie hidden deep in the canyons of the Mountain of the Ancestors. Under the watchful tutelage of their Grandmother, the two girls eventually rediscover their ancient, legacy-bequeathed, up-Mountain Paths, and recommit to being Sister-Healers and Warriors of Light. They also find their own, personal guardian--a light-filled Warrior from beyond the stars--who has returned after lifetimes of searching for his long-lost Sisters of Light.

As the young Warrior begins to fulfill the ancient prophecies passed down in Legend, the fact that he is an Outsider upsets more than the taboo-obsessed traditions, as well as the prejudices, of the Elder Sisters of the Clan of the Mountain. As a consequence to the recovery of his ancient memories, not only his own life, but now the lives of all the re-Awakening Children of Light, are suddenly, and unexpectedly, threatened by the minions of Darkness who return because of the reawakening of those ancient gifts.

The trilogy reunites Warriors from all clans of Iya's people in a classic struggle for dominion over the ancestral territories on the heights of the Mountain of the Ancestors, where Darkness takes the physical form of Great Dark Beasts--shaggy and black, with menacing, Shadow-filled eyes that shine blood-red with the color of their home-world. Only the Guardians of the Mountain and the Guardians of the Wasteland--Shadow-Fighters, Warriors of Light, and Seekers of Medicine--can ever hope to drive back Darkness and its heinous, child-devouring minions into the Otherworld realm from which they have has come.

It is with single-minded purpose, and the strengths that they have gained from millennia of fighting against Darkness, that the Warriors and Seekers of Light now struggle to release their haunted land--and their dreams--from the ancient memories and Dark Beings that inhabit them.

Stan Sudan was born and raised in the mountains, valleys and forested farmlands of northwestern Montana. He attests that it was a childhood as wonderful as any creature on Earth ever could have been blessed to experience. He tries in his writing to preserve those practical memories from his early life, which include many true-to-life adventures, but also fantasies and fictional stories that followed him into his later years.

The farm-life of his youth was peppered with stories, folk-ways, fables, adages and tales of his own ancestors who homesteaded over generationsfrom Minnesota to Oklahoma to Montanaand did, true to his daily listening to those tales, drive Model A Fords on corduroy roads, drive steam engine tractors and harvest crops with teams of horses. Many evenings were filled with discussions over books, one of particular significance being Ostrander & Schroeder's Psychic Discoveries Behind the Iron Curtain, not to mention classic books of science fiction, such as Aldous Huxley's Brave New World, and George Orwell's, 1984both of which were two of his mother's favorites.

His own foundations in paranormal writing originated in having discovered, at age twelve, The Book of the Zohar, which enlightened him to the world of metaphysics, along with two books his oldest sister loaned him on handwriting and palmistry. To this day, he admits, those books are partly responsible for his obsession with the paranormal, and why the sublime forces of spirit and the occult make their way into his writing. Yet, far beyond the tales of alien invasion and reading with fingertips, which, by the way, often frightened him to death, were the monthly, sometimes weekly tuck-and-cover drills for those rural regions that lay only a few miles below the Dew-Line where students growing up during the Cold War practiced curling their heads between their knees and turning their faces away from the windows while lying under their desks. One would think that couldn't happen in such a wilderness setting. But it did, complete with secret, paramilitary soirees he frequently took deep in the middle of the night as a teenager.

Guided by several key zealots, one of whom was an a ex-green-beret, he learned martial arts, hand-to-hand weapons and guerilla fighting, reconnaissance techniques, resistance subterfuge, as well as street-fighting and wilderness survival. Heinlein's The Moon is a Hars...
