About the author
Dinah McCall
22 books163 followersDinah McCall is a pseudonym for author Sharon Sala.
It was a job she hated that drove Sharon Sala to put the first page of paper in an old typewriter, but it was the love of the craft that kept her writing. Her first efforts at writing came in 1980 when she began a book that wound up under her bed. A second book followed in 1981 and suffered a similar fate, but she claims the writing bug had bitten hard. However, she let life and the demands of a growing family delay her from continuing until a tragedy struck.
Her father died in May of 1985 after a lingering illness, and then, only two months later, her only sister died unexpectedly. She vowed then and there that she was not going to wind up on her deathbed one day with regrets for not following through on her dreams.
She joined writers' groups and attended conferences, and she slowly learned her way around the written page. By 1989, she decided she had come far enough in her writing to attempt another try at book-length fiction and began a book that would later be entitled Sara's Angel. As fate would have it, the first publisher she sent it to bought it, and she hasn't looked back.
As a farmer's daughter, and then for many years a farmer's wife, Sharon escaped the drudgeries of life through the pages of books, and now, as a writer, she finds herself often living out her dreams. Through traveling and speaking and the countless thousands of fan letters she has received, Sharon has touched many lives. One faithful reader has crowned her the "Reba of Romance," while others claim she's a magician with words.
Her stories are often dark, dealing with the realities of this world, and yet she's able to weave hope and love within the words for the readers who clamor for her latest works.
Her books repeatedly make the bestseller lists, including those of The New York Times, USA TODAY, Publishers Weekly, and the Waldenbooks mass market fiction list, and she's been nominated for a RITA® Award seven times, which is the romance writer's equivalent of having an Oscar or an Emmy nomination.
Always an optimist in the face of bad times, she finds that many of the stories she writes come to her in dreams, but there's nothing fanciful about her work. She puts her faith in God and still trusts in love and the belief that, no matter what, everything comes full circle.

The second book in The Prophecy series by Dinah McCall/Sharon Sala. About 15 years after the first book ends, Tyhen, Singing bird and The Windwalker's daughter is 15 and danger arrives. The signs start to indicate that her journey would be starting soon. Yuma, a boy from the future is now a young man.
Not much romance since both parties already knew they belonged to each other. The story seem to focus more on getting ready for the journey and the journey itself and all the natural disasters that came suddenly. Went back and forth from the two groups, Tyhen and Yuma's group and then, Cayetano and Singing Bird's group.
I liked the concept to a degree. The idea that history could be changed is intriguing. I'm not sure that it really worked all that well for me, though. I was getting tired of all the disasters they faced and all the people lost. Then it ended. Not a cliffhanger exactly but the story wasn't finished. I will try to read the third book eventually but I am taking a break for the moment.

So thus is book 2 in the Prophecy Series fir Sharon Sala, and in this one we see the daughter if the Windwalker and Layla Birdsong take her own journey to save the tribes of the first nation.
Tyhen (The Dove), is to help unite the people, all the people of all tribes so thst they can learn to work together to define a different future. A future in which the tribes work together as a united front against the invaders from across the sea. At her side is Yuma, her companion, the Eagle that protects the dove, and the twins Adam and Evan who foresee the future that they have yet to make.
This was a great continuation of the series, and one that demonstrates resiliency of a people who which to make amends for mistakes made by the ancestors in order to survive in the future.

The Dove
Sharon Sala is a very good writer. Her characters are very real and her writing keeps you entertained and wanting to read more, you don't want the story to end. A few of the Indian tribes are coming together for a large gathering. They come from different areas of the land to finally meet the windbreaker little Dove, I'm ready to start reading the third book in the series.
I'm really looking forward to find out what happens.

The 2nd in the Prophecy series
This series is getting better. I love the way she incorporates both the new people and the old ones. The death scenes are very vivid and scary. The story brings to mind how these people lived and shows me so much that we take for granted.
