Darach is a spell, a magical being called from a far away realm to help Jana in a quest to save her best friend, the Crowned Prince. Darach’s power comes from the earth and, when he is part of the earth, his magic is replenished. To stay close to Jana at all times, he ‘rests’ in her earth-created necklace. The inexpensive circle of turquoise is their connection. He is her anchor as she dances through time and that connection must not be broken.
[Jana’s]Her fingers rose to touch the pendant around her neck. An inexpensive circle of turquoise, more blue than green and polished to a satin finish, it was elegant in its simplicity. It had been her mother’s, given by her father on their wedding eve. He’d handed it down to Jana when she came of age. If only he could have handed down her magic as easily.
…..
The hulking cloud solidified. A man formed in the wispy swirls. He stood well over six feet and had long, dark-oak hair that fell to the middle of his back. A wide brow topped a proud nose and firm chin. Eyes richer than deepest earth locked with hers. Jade silk pants that hugged powerful legs were tucked into leather boots. His matching thigh-length vest hung open, baring his broad chest and thick arms. A gold band wrapped around one upper arm. Strange gloves with steel tips that protruded like claws hung from a leather belt around his trim waist.
He could have been carved from the very rock of the mountains…
“I am Darach. I am no coward.” An arrogant sneer angled one lip high as he raked her with a scathing look. “Your magic is weak and your form even weaker. Does this world not have any mightier warriors than you?”
That smirk grated Jana, shot into her spine and stiffened her back. “Many, but this is my quest and you’re here to help me so get used to this weak form.”
“If I must.” A sarcastic nod of his head substituted for gallantry. “I await your call, my charge. Do not fritter away my limited time in this realm.”
He imploded, sucking into a tight plume of lilac smoke. The smoke barreled toward her chest, spearing her necklace. A hush breathed into the room as warmth emanated between her breasts. She touched the tiny gemstone that now held a living spell.
What better way to celebrate the release of TIME DANCER than to commission a unique replica of that necklace, a circle of turquoise wrapped in silver? Since Darach also has the shifter ability to become a grizzly, there’s also a bear charm included. The winner can choose to wear it or to remove it. After all, Darach didn’t STAY in the necklace. He traveled with Jana on her adventures as a living breathing (and gorgeous) man.
If you could dance through time, back to any place in your life, where would you dance to and why?
One commenter will win the Time Dancer necklace. Another will win digital copies all three books in The Eldwyn Chronicles.

TIME DANCER – Releases February 11, 2013 from Carina Press
Time waits for no man. But for a woman…
Everyone has a duty in the Royal castle—everyone except Jana Haruk. Despite her promising magical bloodline, her gift is weak. As a Reminiscent Seer, she knows only what happened in the past, not what will happen in the future. When the crown prince’s life is threatened, Jana vows to do everything she can to help her brother-in-law—including asking the queen, a powerful sorceress, to lend her some magic.
The queen summons Darach, a spell in human form. The arrogant and mysterious man soon discovers that there’s more to Jana than meets the eye; she is a TIME DANCER, someone with the ability to move backward through time in her dreams. With Darach as her anchor, Jana can explore the past and try to figure out who is behind the attacks on the prince.
Despite her attraction to him, Jana knows little about the handsome warrior. The past is tying them closer to each other with every trip, but Darach is bound to return to his homeland when his mission is complete. Their time together is running out.

The book sounds really good! Thanks for the chance to win!!!
I think I would like to go back to 1776 (maybe a tiny bit earlier) and be in Philadelphia. I would love to witness the “birth” of our country and meet some of the people that made it happen.
I would go back to the victorian time, some time around 1870, Iove the way they used to dress, act n the dances were some smooth , classic love tht time
thanks for the chance to win
I think i’d go back to my teenage years and tell myself how thing will improve in my future.
Gorgeous necklace and love the cover.
I know I will enjoy any book by Inez Kelley. I’ve enjoyed her writing for years.
I’d go back to my college years and get my teaching certificate. Love the necklace and book cover.
I would travel back to the Edwardian era which I think is fascinating and beautiful.
I don’t know if I want to go to any time in my own past…how about I go dancing in history?
I would dance back to my college years. It was the time where I made most of my strongest friendships and I remember the anticipation or feeling that everything was exciting and before me to discover.
Pretty necklace
I wouldn’t like to dance back to any of my life as living it once was enough!
How gorgeous! And I’m with Felinewyvern! I’m not sure I could stand to re-live any moments again! Maybe I would consider going back to a ballet class or two in my youth–it would be exciting to enjoy again how strong and flexible I think I once was
I would like to live in the moment. I don’t want to go back to any part of my life and relive it again. I’ve had some mistakes but I don’t want to go back to that part of my life to relive them again. You grow by your mistakes. I wouldn’t be what I am today if I hadn’t of had those mistakes.
There are lots of periods of history I’d be interested in visiting. But I don’t think I’d want to go back and re-do any part of my own life.
Thanks for a wonderful contest. Happy Valentine’s Day to all.
I would go back to after I graduate from high school. I would have went to college. Thanks for the giveaway.
Nice necklace, thanks for the chance to win it and a great sounding series!
I’d dance back to around the age of four and dance around the house and capture that fun spirit that we have at that age.
If I could dance back to my teenage years & have a do over I’d jump at the chance.
I’d dance back to last September so I can be with my baby girl that I lost, and try to save her so she’d still be alive today.
I would go back to the early 1970s which is when my “second life”
began. I was still in shy young female mode when I began to vol-
unteer in schools, parish, and community. This led to local, dis-
trict/school board, and national acknowledgement for my work.
Knowing what I know now, I could do so much more for the
people of my community!!
I would go back to the ’50s. I love the fashion, music, and culture of that era.
That is a beautiful necklace. I love the cover for Time Dancer. Adding the series to my TBR list. Would be great to win them
I think I would dance back to my early 20′s and not be so shy
I think I missed out on some really fun times because I was very shy most of the time. Btw, love the necklace & the book sounds great !
Victorian period because I think that era sounds intriguing and exciting. Wouldn’t want to stay long though because I enjoy my modern facilities
Thanks
I’d probably go back to college and work a little harder. I had a lot of fun back then instead of studying, but I’d rather be having fun now instead of studying.
I would gladly danced back to when I turned 25 years old and had a hot man after me, but I let him go. He is my biggest regret in life. I would love to have the chance to see where our relationship would have taken us to.
I’m not sure I could going back any moments again! But sometimes i want back to when my mother still alive and tell her about her illness, and to ask her going to the right doctor.
Thanks for the giveaway.
Oh, if I could go back to the day before my best friend got into a car with a date and died. To know what happened to give the family some peace it would be worth millions and zillions to me and those who still love her and miss her terribly.
I would go back to my early 20s and make myself go to college
I’d dance back to my late teens to enjoy life more and take more chances
