Flight of the Feathered Serpent

by Dana Alexander

Overview

An old and deadly enemy.

A danger reaching beyond life's boundaries.

A love destined for all eternity...

A silent killer sweeps humanity, consuming its life force, threatening an eternal reign of darkness. After narrowly escaping this shadowy force in the highlands of Scotland, New York psychiatrist Sara Forrester is tasked with finding the second key of life-by unlocking the riddles of Mayan myth in the shrouded depths of the Yucatan jungle. As Sara and her team are plunged into a history rooted in magic and mystery, they struggle to find light in the darkest corners of the unfamiliar. At risk are the billions of lives on Earth and a future Sara longs to keep with the man she bonded with before either were ever born.

But when age-old myths of a lost civilization come to life, Sara suspects the very Order she serves might have other intentions-using her to achieve a separate and malevolent purpose. She's vowed that no matter who or what might be working against her and the immortals, nothing will stand in the way of achieving her vital goal.

Editorial Reviews

"A zealous, entertaining entry in a fantasy saga with a determined heroine." --Kirkus Reviews

"...imaginative and very well written. I was amazed at the details the author included in describing everything in a way that did not weigh down the novel, but allowed the reader to delve further into the story and imagine themselves alongside the main character, Sara Forrester..." -Amazon Review

"...The background of the Yucatan wilderness and Mayan temples, gods and powers beyond our comprehension... all of the details are incredibly rich, as is the ongoing character development. We see Sarah continue to grow into herself as an unexpected heroine, and she is blossoming into a powerful leader who just might be able to hold the shadows at bay..." -Amazon Review

"...an extremely imaginative and exciting story which keeps you on the edge of your seat. The magic quotient is high and the story keeps taking an unexpected turn thereby keeping the mystery alive while not allowing the story to fall into a predictable pit..." -Net Galley

From the Publisher

2019-10-22
An immortal continues to recover powerful keys in order to prevent a dark force from consuming Earth in this third installment of a series.

Tarsamon, the Dark Lord, plans on tipping the balance of good and evil in his favor, which entails killing all humans on Earth. In Ardan, the realm of immortals, a spiritual order called the Soltari controls the governing body, the Alliance, which has implemented a counterattack of sorts. Dr. Sara Forrester, an immortal in human form, is the Light Carrier and will gather three hidden keys that can save humanity. The Soltari blocked Sara's memories to avoid distracting emotions. But she's still drawn to her love, Cerys, who's Dr. Kevin Scott as a human. Sara, Kevin, and elven allies from Ardan head to the Yucatán Peninsula to meet Topetine, guardian of the second key. Despite numerous measures to hide Sara's energy from Tarsamon, the army of dark shadows tracks her down. She and Kevin may have trouble focusing on the operation as they're both torn between keeping their distance and succumbing to their mutual passion. Sara, meanwhile, must also contend with her growing wariness of the organization with which she's aligned herself. Alexander's (A Light Within, 2019, etc.) fantasy is energized from the start, particularly as it opens in the midst of a mission. At times, it resembles a video game: Sara progressively acquires new (or forgotten) abilities and earns "another level of protection" with each key recovered. It's certainly exciting, but the narrative likewise boasts tension, as more than one individual from Sara's group winds up an abductee while she has good reason to distrust people supposedly on her side. The author's lucid prose makes otherworldly realms easy to visualize: "The sky was black as soot with the smallest shred of steel-blue on the outer edge of a would-be horizon if the sun ever rose here." The novel predictably ends on a cliffhanger, but a memorable one.

A zealous, entertaining entry in a fantasy saga with a determined heroine.
