Sister Light, Sister Dark

by Jane Yolen

Sister Light, Sister Dark Cover

 

Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

Raised on a mountainside, Jenna learned the arts of the warrior, and from the mountain women the magic of the ancient lore. But the greatest magic of all was her ability to call forth her dark sister from the depths of the mirror of the land of light and shadow.

Skada was the dark one, able to exist only when the moonlight cast a shadow or lamplight flickered in a darkened room.

This is the story of Jenna and Skada. Sister Light and Sister Dark.

Synopsis:

Jenna, an orphan, struggles to find where she fits in. Mythology states that the goddess Alta created two sisters to rule the forces of darkness and light on Earth. Could Jenna be the goddess of Earth, the one foretold in the myths?
