Over twenty years ago, in 1986, Frank Peretti wrote a brilliant, bold and thought provoking series, This Present Darkness and Piercing the Darkness. Now, finally, S.J. Pierce has done the same and, in many ways, surpassed his work. Marked for Vengeance started it all and Tethered by Fate continues a rare story. S.J. Pierce provides a woman's touch that is unmistakeable.Tethered by Fate continues where Marked for Vengeance ended. Alyx and her Marked, Isaac, are in the other dimension and in love. Aren't they? Alyx is still a Protector, isn't she? What about the rules that forbide her to become involved with Isaac? As the Warriors are introduced, everything becomes even more complicated. Alyx is supposed to be with her new Marked, the Warrior Samuel. Samuel was made for Alyx, so they're to be soul mates. Meanwhile, Isaac has a beautiful, fully human, admirer. Will Isaac and Alyx continue what they started on Earth? That part of the story is for all the romance readers.The stunning dimension these Protectors, Warriors, humans and their Elders find themselves in, after the end of Marked for Vengeance will appeal to all fantasy lovers. The descriptions of the mountains, woods, lakes, etc. are breath taking.The Protectors, Warriors, Elders and humans with special abilities will have paranormal fans clamoring for more. More from S.J. Pierce. More from other authors to be so bold and different. More from Hollywood. More from publishers.The mystery of it all will make readers who are tired of the same characters, the same plot and the hum drum books of today raise their standards.S.J. Pierce has delivered a story that is perfect for those starving for something different, something bold, something deep and beautiful. For those who are happy with the current crop of books, you may not be ready for this series. If you're like me, you'll love it. Open your mind to a new world. Go ahead!
