KEEPERS OF THE FLAME by Robin D. OwensLuna
Twin sisters Bri and Elizabeth Drystan each have a special gift for healing, but they've taken very different career paths. While Elizabeth has pursued a medical degree, Bri has taken a more unorthodox and holistic path. Both of their gifts are sorely needed in the world of Lladrana, as the Dark has launched a deadly new plague.
Abruptly summoned to this alien world by desperate sorcerers, Bri and Elizabeth discover they are the fourth such summoning of Earth-born women, or Exotiques. The situation in Lladrana is dire, and Bri and Elizabeth are immediately thrown into the fray. To save the lives of many, one twin may place her own life in dire risk.

REVIEWS
As Owens' multifaceted saga, The Summoning, continues, the sorcerers get an unexpected bonus: two for the price of one in the form of twins...Events continue to darken in this intricate fantasy world, the stakes keep rising, and losses become inevitable. Strong characterization combined with deadly danger make this story vibrate with emotional resonance. Stay tuned as events accelerate toward the final battle. —Jill M. Smith, Romantic Times
This is one of the most engaging worlds ever to grace the universe of epic fantasy. Though the basic framework of the prior three novels is maintained, Keepers of the Flame does not follow any set "formula," but is filled with surprises as the sisters adapt and struggle in the world to which they have been summoned. Thus, what is loved about the other books is still there, but it is also a fresh, new spin on the overall story. -- Amanda Killgore, Huntress Reviews
I was utterly fascinated by this latest Exotique story. The Lladranans are coming closer and closer to finding a solution for finally facing the Dark in a final battle. They can only hope they can set all the pieces of the puzzle into place and finally triumph to save Lladrana once and for all. Robin D. Owens has pulled out all stops with this one in yet another intriguing peek into her Lladranan world. -- Kathy Boswell, The Best Reviews

I love Robin Owens. *G* Her "Heart" series is so good! Must pick this one up :)
I'm a big fan of both series by Robin, each very different. The Summoning books get better and better.
This is a great series. I've enjoyed each one and can't wait to see who gets summoned next. Too bad we have to wait until next year. *sigh* I want everything now.

Nalini, a wonderful person and writer, let me know that she had comments.
So THANKS! I haven't really started writing on the last book. I think it will be entitled Echoes in the Dark. My heroine is a half-Japanese pop singer.
By the way, there is a scene I liked a lot that I had to cut from Keepers of the Flame on my website under the Worlds -- Keepers of the Flame page. So, enjoy!
Thanks again for your lovely words.
Robin
