Not even a full year has passed since Joanna Archer learned
she has a destiny. A place in the world of the super beings
who make up Zodiac Troop 175, quartered in Las Vegas.
Joanna is the Kairos, the chosen one, who will lead the
agents of Light to victory against the agents of Shadow.
Half-Light and Half-Shadow herself, Joanna fights the good
fight but is aware that the Shadow side is always there,
waiting to claim her.
Now the time has come for the third sign of the Zodiac. The
first sign was the unveiling of the Kairos, Joanna. The
second sign, a plague. The third is the awakening of the
Kairos' dormant side. Some, including the Tulpa, Joanna's
demon father, have interpreted this to mean that Joanna's
Shadow side is due to make an appearance. Again, the Tulpa
offers her a place at his side. Again, she refuses him and
opts to retain her role as the Archer in the Light Zodiac.
Now someone, or rather something, new has come to town.
Someone even her father fears. A double-walker, or
doppelganger, walks the streets of Vegas, and she appears
to be the mirror image of Joanna. The evil twin means to
become corporeal and will stop at nothing to realize her
plan.
The Troop now sets its sites on two clear enemies, the
Tulpa with his dark Zodiac of Shadow minions and the
doppelganger. The Tulpa, on the other hand, suggests that
the two sides work together to eliminate the doppelganger,
who he feels is as much a danger to the Shadow agents as to
the Troop. There's twisted logic to the Tulpa's plan, but
Joanna can't help but feel her father has an agenda of his
own and that "working together" is really "Tulpa-speak" for
working for him. This is one of those times when there's no
good decision to be made. Whichever path she decides to
take presents a risk to her, the Troop and the city of Las
Vegas.
Summer really heats up this May 27th with the publication
of THE TOUCH OF TWILIGHT, the third installment of
Peterson's dark fantasy series. There are a lot of
characters to keep track of; the Troop, their Shadow
counterparts, the lovers, the friends, the rivals, the
initiates, the parents...and the city. So stay sharp and pay
attention. A Las Vegas native, Pettersson brings the city
and its inhabitants to life. A series that borrows from a
lot of different mythologies, Pettersson has thrown them
all into a pot, stirred it up and come up with a dish
completely delicious and all her own.
On the surface she's a sexy, sophisticated socialite, at
home among the beautiful people of the Las Vegas upper
crust. But Joanna Archer inhabits another world: a place
ordinary humans cannot see . . . a dangerous dimension
where an eternal battle rages between the agents of Light
and Shadow. And Joanna is both.
Stalked by an enigmatic doppelganger from a preternatural
realm, Joanna can feel the Light failing—which is
propelling her toward a terrifying confrontation with the
ultimate master of evil, the dark lord of Shadow: her
father.
Vegas is all about winning big . . . or losing everything.
To save her friends, her future, her worlds, Joanna Archer
must gamble it all by fully embracing the darkness inside
her.
