Bearers of Light, Book 2: Escape From Heath Halls

by Jolayne L Call

Overview

Awakening in the middle of the night to a psychic cry of help from his twin, Karis persuades a reluctant Malin (his cousin) to accompany him on a three week’s journey to Mythro. It is the middle of the night, in December, with a snow storm on the way and the cousins are not prepared. Furthermore, Karis is not willing to wait until they are. He is convinced terrible things will happen to his family who are now prisoners in their own home, if he and Malin do not leave immediately. They may already be too late.
So they go, accompanied by an enthusiastic Rilse, Malin’s white wolf companion, who is sure he will meet up with other wolves in the colder north. Malin and Karis are also sure they will meet up with other wolves - human wolves - though what faces the enemy will wear and whose colors is yet unknown. If they are successful at freeing the royal prisoners, they will make the return trip south to Godsel, in inclement weather, with an ill king, the queen, a small child, and a fully mounted pursuit behind them. The odds are not in their favor. Will their combined resources and gifts be sufficient to get them to safety?

About the Author

Raised in southern Alberta, Canada, along with a myriad of Sillito siblings, Jolayne (Jo) Sillito Call has loved reading and writing for forever, but especially since the fourth grade. As an invalid confined to bed for nine months, books became her world. The day began with them and ended with them. Daylight, lamplight, flashlight, all seemed created or devised for reading. When she was limited to one a day of the downstairs books, she discovered a shelf of upstairs books to supplement that source. She remembers one of the downstairs books was Gone With The Wind.
Writing came early, too: there was poetry with a sister in a west bedroom, a revision of “The Highwayman,” stories, school assignments, and when Jo couldn’t remember the assignment properly, a parable for a psychology class.
People have always been a large and important part of her life. She was the second oldest of fourteen children. Then she married and had six children of her own, and now has sixteen grandchildren. Extended family, good friends and many students over the years have filled her life with great people, an essential asset she claims for any writer.
Another facet of Jolayne’s life that she claims enriches her writing is a variety of environments and cultures. Home has been Southern Alberta, Edmonton, Utah, England, Arizona, and Washington State. In addition, she has also traveled to Chile, Bolivia, Peru, the British Isles, the European Continent, and Mexico. She says stories happen to people in a specific place, such as changing your path because a puma is sleeping on it if you’re in a rain forest in Bolivia.
Jo has a great love for the arts, both as a participant and an audience in choirs, musicals, and plays. Some of her favorites are Ondine, Fiddler on the Roof, Brigadoon and Matchmaker. She has played many roles in life, some formal, some informal. She has been an actor, a student, a director, a teacher, a writer, a reader, a wife, a mother, a grandmother, a sister, a daughter, and an aunt. (She doesn’t do ironing).
Jolayne currently lives with her husband in Utah.
