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. With the help of their Warrior friends and Medicine-skilled relations, the two Seekers are challenged, sometimes brutally, to re-Awaken the long-forgotten memories that give them their Medicine skills.
The epic 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 up-Mountain Paths. They also find their own, personal guardian--a 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 and 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 the lives of all the re-Awakening children of Light are suddenly, and unexpectedly, threatened by the minions of Darkness who come to devour the Ancient light that has been reawakened in their souls.
The trilogy reunites Warriors from all Clans in a classic struggle for dominion over the Ancestral territories on the heights of the Mountain, where Darkness takes the physical form of Great Dark Beasts, shaggy and black, with red eyes that shine forth with the color of their home-world. Only the Guardians of the Mountain and the Wasteland--Shadow-Fighters, Warriors of Light, and Seekers of Medicine—-can ever hope to drive back Darkness and its minions into the Otherworld realm from which they have has come.
With single-minded purpose, and the strength they have gained from millennia of fighting Darkness, the Warriors and Seekers strive to release their haunted land from the Ancient Memories that plague their dreams and inhabit the very ground that they walk upon.

Sisters of Light and Darkness by Stan Sudan is a compelling read with profound, absorbing characters and thought provoking plot lines. Intertwining within all this, the writer’s ability to bring the reader into the world of the story is a gift he shares with earnest. Stan’s writing style is full-bodied and unique and his capacity for such deep work is inspiring. Of course, I am a bit biased as a wife and beta reader, but I feel his books compare well to other best sellers that I have read. I have enjoyed getting to know each of the characters, their personalities, histories and passions and look forward to the unfolding of the story in the next books.
