"...The writing is excellent, and the plotting is first rate, and I give the author extra kudos for originality." -Amazon Top 1000 Reviewer Loyalty beyond life itself... Desire that whispers to defy an oath... At risk is all they've ever shared and a future they hope to keep. Sara Forrester is plunged into the only role in life she was ever meant to fulfill—the quest to obtain three ancient keys hidden by a powerful governing order across the realms—the Soltari. She and her team must race to Scotland to find the sacred Druid priests before the evil seeking to end her quest traces her energy trail and puts an end to mankind. But when Sara arrives, a powerful force lures her to a break in time and space, diverting her intended path. Staying alive to recover the keys and save humanity is not Sara’s only dilemma. She’s done what she vowed never to do, let herself love another human being. But Kevin is not just any other person and she intuitively knows it. Unlike Kevin, Sara has no memory of her connection to him. The distraction could cost them everything. If Kevin breaks his oath to the Soltari by sharing with Sara his memories spanning lifetimes together, their bond could be forever severed by the very entity that brought them together. "...Scenes are dynamic, paying attention to characters' placements and movements. The novel balances its magic and realism in a grounded way...Beyond a Darkened Sky begins its fantasy series in an endearing way, building to a epic showdown between good and evil." -Foreword Reviews (Book 1, Beyond a Darkened Sky) "A zealous, entertaining entry in a fantasy saga with a determined heroine." -Kirkus Reviews (Book 3, Flight of the Feathered Serpent) " Winter's Labyrinth is a fast and entertaining fantasy novel whose inventive world is richly built." -Foreword Reviews (Book 4, The Three Keys series) "...The writing is excellent, and the plotting is first rate, and I give the author extra kudos for originality." - Amazon Top 1000 Reviewer (Book 2, A Light Within ) "...Crisp dialogue, honest emotions, extravagant use of otherworldly atmosphere combine to make Dana Alexander's second book a hefty and enthralling read. " -Amazon Hall of Fame, Top 100 Reviewer " ...Alexander does wonderfully well in creating truly likable and real characters,and the story line is descriptive, detailed, and honestly enjoyable..." - Amazon 5 star review " ... imbued with wit and sharp writing...an immersive landscape of every scene, and the richness of the narrative (as well as the detailed landscapes) make this a pleasure to read through. As the adventure builds to a climax, we see real human questions of curiosity, loss, betrayal, and love come to the forefront, making this an emotional read, and one that I would suggest for everyone who loves fantasy, sci-fi, romance, philosophy, and good old-fashioned suspense." -Amazon 5 star review Dana Alexander is a summa cum laude graduate of Arizona State University whose career was spent in Medicare policy, education, and audit. Captivated by the fascinating and creative world of fantasy from a young age and, seeking more than the monotony of the daily grind, she was compelled to write the story of two warriors connected across countless millennia, upheld by their duty to the Alliance. When she isn't creating scenes, developing mysterious realms, and weaving fact with fiction, her time is spent with family keeping cool in the ridiculously hot desert with their two huge, swim-loving Labs, Ryley and Brodie.
