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.
