A warrior and her dark sister join forces to dismantle and remake
their embattled world in this epic fantasy saga from a Nebula
Award–winning author. One of fantasy fiction’s preeminent
practitioners, Jane Yolen creates a world and mythology that are
richly enthralling and vibrantly alive in this acclaimed trilogy.
Sister Light, Sister Dark: Three-times orphaned and raised secretly by
the acolytes of the goddess Alta, the child Jenna studies the ways of
the warrior in preparation for the day that has been prophesied. For
she may well be the goddess reborn who, with the aid of Skada—her
mirror twin who can reveal herself only in darkness—is fated to
bring devastation to the world. White Jenna: Grown to young
womanhood, the warrior Jenna offers her allegiance to the rightful
king of the Dales—and her heart to his brother, Carum—joining the
fight against the malevolent usurper Kalas. But the powerful despot
appears unstoppable, dedicated to the destruction of the worshippers
of Alta, the society of women in which the orphaned Jenna was lovingly
raised. The One-Armed Queen: Having fulfilled an ancient prophecy,
the Queen of the Dales must now keep her faltering kingdom safe from a
looming terror, and prepare her chosen successor—a one-armed orphan
girl she discovered on the battlefield—for the grim responsibilities
of rule. A sweeping adventure of destiny, peril, magic, and
romance, The Great Alta Saga is a magnificent feat of storytelling
that ingeniously blends world-building, myth, poetry, and song.
