A story of mystic and wonderment, Nora Robert's Key of Light is a fanciful tale about the lives three women whose lives are intertwined with those of goddesses. Dana, Zoe, and Mallory's lives could not be more different, except for the fact they look all look like the Daughters of the Glass. The goddesses have been locked into a glass box from an evil sorcerer named Kane. This is the first book in a trilogy; each book is about one of the girls, starting off with Mallory, Dana, and then Zoe. Each girl has to find one of the three keys to open the glass box, if any of them do not find a key; they then lose a year of their lives'. Through their adventure the three women are helped by a god and goddess, Pitte and Rowena. The gods have been cast out from behind the curtain of Power (the shield that separates the mortals' world from the gods') because of not protecting the three demi-goddesses from the evil sorcerer.

Rowena asks the women to take up the challenge, "I will make you an offer, you will each have, in turn, one phase of the moon to find one of the three keys. If all three keys are brought to this place, before the end of the third moon, you will each be given a boon."It is not a surprise this book was a #1 New York Times Bestseller, because of its action packed sequence, mystical tale with some romance tied in.
