Book Two of the Great Alta Saga

Jenna was the White Queen.

Skada was the Dark Queen. She is bound to Jenna—the other half of Jenna’s self. Drawn out of a mirror by a rite of magic, a “dark sister” is confined to the dark. She vanishes in daylight. It is in this other world the dark sisters wait for moonlight or lamplight to call them forth again.

This is their story: of myths turned real, ordinary people turned heroes, a land turned inside out by the coming of White Jenna.

Synopsis:

In this sequel to "Sister Light, Sister Dark," the saga of Jenna, thrice prophesied White Queen, and her dark sister, Skada, continues as they cross a battle-torn land to save their true-born king.

Synopsis:

Three heroes rode out of the East. One was light as day, one was bright as noon, one was dark as night.

The saga of Jenna, thrice prophesied White Queen, and her dark sister Skada, continues as they cross a battle-torn land to save their true-born king.
