ABOUT "DARKENED SKYE"
Skye of Lynlora is a shepherd with a restless spirit, a taste for adventure, and a smart mouth. Her humdrum existence is forever changed one day when she discovers magic and is chosen to battle the darkness.
Armed with her wits, spells and weapons, Skye finds herself on a quest for five ancient prisms that can save the world from evil. But at least she's not alone. There's her snide side-kick, the obligatory wise-old-knows-everything character and the mysterious love interest who has a bad habit of disappearing just when he's needed.
