Emmy is no typical seventeenth century woman - she is a Time Walker who knows exactly how history will play out. Reading about events in a book could never prepare her for the life she would live in the past, yet soon she is forced to understand how her family and history are irrevocably entwined.
Daniel wants nothing more than a peaceful life for his family, but rising tensions between the English and the native tribes give ammunition to a new enemy - Nathaniel Bacon, a man whose hatred knows no bounds. When Bacon rises to power and embarks on a murderous rampage against the Pamunkey, Daniel is drawn into the fray. To save his family, Daniel must confront the darkness of his past and embrace the monster in his soul - even if it destroys him in the end.
Song of Sunrise is the fourth and final volume in the Time Dance series based in the Time Walkers world.

I received an ARC of Time Dance for a honest review. I've thought long and hard about how to write this review because I'm particularly fond of Brown's writing. The internal conflict that Daniel and Emmy struggle with is still present. Daniel is pulled in many directions (husband, father, liaison to the English and the Pamunkey Queen), but the most important duty of all is being a protector of a Blooded One. Emmy continues to struggle with her future and present 16th century self, but her struggles pales in comparison to her husband. Daniel's 'demons' are real, the 7 years apart changed him and even though time has passed it's still present in their marriage. The 7 years apart also changed history, how, still remains to be seen but the last chapter left me wanting more.
Through the Valley has all of the things I like to read about: Time Travel Romance, (a bit too much sex for my taste), Historical accuracy and a Brilliant writer who makes things up come to life. Excellent!
