Jackson Pearce

Three novelists, all with supernatural sister sets in the center of their books, talk together about what makes sibling rivalry (and cooperation) so scintillating. A Southern California transplant, MICHELLE ZINK now lives in upstate New York with her four children. Zink has always been fascinated with ... (more)ancient myths and legends. Never satisfied with simply reading them, she usually ends up asking, “What if?” Sometimes asking only leads to more questions, but every now and then, when everything falls into place just right, a story is born. Prophecy of the Sisters is one of those stories. In Guardian of the Gate, Book 2 of the Prophecy of the Sisters series, Zink reveals that the twin sisters, Lia and Alice have always known that “the prophecy” would turn them against each other. As sixteen year-old Lia searches for a way to end the prophecy, Alice hones the skills she’ll need to defeat her sister and continue the prophecy. Alice won’t stop until she gets what she wants – including getting James, Lia’s boyfriend! Both know that betrayal could lead them to an outcome of catastrophic consequences, but in the end, only one sister will be left standing.
