"...Beyond a Darkened Sky begins its fantasy series in an endearing way, building to a epic showdown between good and evil." --Foreword Reviews An immortal enemy preys upon humanity. One life abandoned to fulfill a duty and a promise made. A race to rescue billions of lives and hold tight the one connection that ever mattered.... The balance between good and evil has been shattered, opening a path for a dark lord's malevolent shadows to consume the lifeforce of humanity. To New York psychiatrist Dr. Sara Forrester, these nightmares become more than figments of a troubled mind when the Soltari-a powerful entity governing the balance of good and evil-calls Sara to retrieve three ancient keys hidden thousands of years earlier. But to find the keys she must unlock the gateway to each by way of three secret medallions. As part of Sara's existence in this life, the Order administering the Soltari's rule has blocked her memory from the past lives she's led and the power she holds for her to establish a relatively ordinary life on Earth. The Last Great Warrior hasn't forgotten the love he's vowed to protect across time and space. He's come to Earth under the guise of a physician and colleague on an oath to the Soltari not to remind Sara of their past lives together once the mission is engaged. In guarding every facet of the quest, the Alliance couldn't risk a love that transcends time interfering with the task to rescue billions of lives and keep Earth as an intended place of human development. There is no room for distraction where unemotional decisions need to be made. If Sara fails the mission, not only will humanity be lost but also the eternal bond of two souls linked for centuries.
