For weeks, twin sisters Bri and Elizabeth are haunted by the sound of gongs and chimes in their heads. Then, one evening in the elevator, they don't stop on their floor, but keep on going until they reach another world, Llandrana, where they have been summoned as the next Exotique, this time, for the Medicas. A terrible disease is ravishing the land, one that involves not only the body, but apparently the soul as well. These two sisters, gifted with healing hands, are the best hope to stop it, but their progress is hampered by divided hearts. As they fall in love with this land and with the people, two in particular, they also yearn for home. Then, the need for a cure becomes even more urgent.

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. Those who have followed Alexa, Calli, Marian, and their beloveds, as well as the darling feycoocus, will be delighted to see how they are doing by now, as well as re-meeting other old friends again. This is a long book, one you will have to commit time to read, but it's worth the investment. I just wish there was an accompanying soundtrack to play as you do so, for the words are filled with music.
