Reviews
This sequel to Sister Light, Sister Dark follows Jenna into adulthood as she reluctantly fulfills the prophesy naming her the Anna, the warrior queen who will lead her people out of oppression. In the land of the Dales, conquered by the patriarchial Garunians, women living in communities known as Hames train girls to be warriors. They are able to call up their dark sisters, shadow souls who appear in the flesh with the moon or firelight to fight and work and love as their light sisters do. Jenna and two companions--Petra, a priestess in training, and Catrona, a warrior, plan to warn the other Hames of the danger from the usurping Lord Kalas. The small band joins up with the deposed king and his brother, Jenna's love Carum, whom she had rescued years before. The king uses Jenna to gain a greater following, but they are still too few. Yolen weaves a magical tale with wry, true-to-life observation, poetry and a touch of wit.

Volume Two of the Books of Great Alta sees the warrior priestess/queen Jenna find her way through a maze of betrayal, magic, and epic battles. From the inside flap of the dust jacket: "Three heroes rode out from the East. One was light as day, one was bright as moon, one was dark as eve. Their horses were caparisoned the same: one in silver, one in gold, one in ebon, and they carried the crown, the collar, and the ring. Their swords flashed as they rode. The woods rang with their battle cry: "We serve the queen of light! We serve the queen of night!". " Yolen has blended legend, myth, history, and a novel into a powerful tale that in the end can make readers cry with awe and sorrow. Highly recommended. Seller Inventory # 000042
