With many races and magic abounding, with new deities, the World of Ethar is passing through another time of change.
~ Time stopped. “Father!!!!!!!!” The scream echoed in her head as her flaming shadows rose up through the altar. This was the first time her presence in the realm of the Ancients was felt. This was the day the power of ShadowDancer was awakened.
~ L'Akyra reach up and pulled a pink ribbon from her hair and tied it around the hilt of his sword. “A token and a reminder to come for me again. You have claim to my heart, and our time is ahead of us. Now send me back until next time.”
~ In the space between moments, you can see the threads that join things together and he followed those threads to the source of the enemy armies.
We look ahead and we see change, and change is a foreshadow of things yet to come.

Book 3
A Touch of Earth
Synopsis: A Touch of Earth
Chareece, the daughter of Eric, crosses over to her father’s world as ShadowDancer, unaware of the consequences of her passing.
~ Shadow Dancer felt honored, "Quickly to your sister now. Tell her they need not carry a burden as they travel. The land will yield her bounty for them." She said warmly, not fully realizing what she just gifted to her followers.
She walked with some attempt to be discrete, but it is a world without magic. Her Father has more power and magic than most of the deities of ether, yet he came from a world so strange without it. Her touch and passing changes the lives of each person she interacts with. Her followers on earth find they need to work together and find each other to keep things quiet. They have unintentionally captured the attention of agents that seek to understand oddities that have resulted. A journey of intrigue what this handful of individuals touched with life changing abilities. They now deal with the changes in their lives.
~ The coin was unique. The metallurgists said the coin was not cast or stamped, there were no seams and no structural flaws. The image on the one side of the coin was a lion not sitting up, but broadside on his belly facing to its left so the face was full on the coin and a teardrop of flame over its head, ringed towards the edge of the coin with a wreath similar to an Olympic wreath open at the top. On the other side of the coin was a rolled-up document with a quill pen crossed over the top shaping a general X in the middle of the coin. The text or numbers on the coin were not in a known alphabet and it was even speculated that it was a language that predates the known languages on earth.

Book 5
A Journey
Synopsis: A Journey
She brought order out of chaos on the Savage Continent, not ShadowDancer sent Lyamy on a journey out into the rest of the world. Her den will take care of her cubs, but she will miss them if she has to leave them. Can she really be in two places at once? She is a stranger to the ways of the rest of the world and their politics, she grew up in the middle of untamed politics of her own that might help deal with what is out there. There is death and selfishness, out there waiting and she will have to face it all. The Ancients are there for her, and she is there for the world ready and willing to sacrifice what is needed to do the good that is her inward drive.
She faces being despised by even some of the ancients:
~ Corvuset looked at ShadowDancer, anger he could not unleash filled his eyes. “We are ancients and you have allowed a lesser race to take control of an Ancient. The council will not forgive this.”
Lyamy learns a hard lesson on messing with time:
~ The timeling changed its glare, to a slightly less harsh appearance. “I cannot stop you from making changes, you have the power. I can request before you touch another fixed event you call me.” The creature handed her, a small black stone. “I can help you not collapse existence.”
The bigger the power, the bigger the mistakes.
