Racine
by Alison Clarke
The Sisterhood, Book 2
Genre: YA Fantasy



In a world divided by fear, hate, and prejudice, Racine embarks on a journey to discover who she really is. After a life time of alienation and rejection because of the colour of her skin and her Black heritage, she discovers the ultimate truth of good
is wrapped up in the magic of the Story. Stories have the power to change the world, but first, the stories need unlocking.

In this thought-provoking, profoundly moving call-to-arms fantasy story, Alison Clarke tells the story of Racine's self-discovery and coming of age through her exploration of the 'Story' throughout time and ages. As Racine travels from the Library of Congress through time and space to lands both magical and real, she unlocks the mysteries of her own heritage and comes to understand that there are more things that join us than divide us.

Winner of Canada's Diversity Magazine Award 'Writer Of The Year Award 2017' Alison Clarke writes inspirational, magical stories with a powerful message about being the change in the world we would like to see. For readers of all ages.



I woke up, gasping for air.

I saw destruction; I saw terrified faces, and so much Fire.

Everything was alight, but yet it was surrounded by such darkness.

Voices, with sonorous tones swimming in sorrow and regret floated in the air.

The time has now come. The time has now come.

I was drowning in my own sweat. These nightmares were not unusual; they had become an almost nightly occurrence. What was I to do? What was my destiny? 

I felt the flow of the Ancestors. Soon, it would be time. IT WOULD BE TIME.

The Sisterhood
The Sisterhood, Book 1


Authored by Award Winning Author Alison Clarke 'Writer of The Year 2017' (Diversity Magazine. Canada.)

A story full of magic, positivity, and a call to arms for women of all ages and from all backgrounds, to be the change we want to see in the world.

When Oppie and Aurie are faced with a terrible battle between good and evil, they discover that friendship and sisterhood are the most precious things in the world.

In a realm where magic and legend still exist, it's easy to think that when you're just an ordinary girl, you'll never get the chance to be written into the history books. But when Oppie, and her dragon friend Aurie, find themselves on a mission to defeat the evil, oppressive forces of darkness, in the form of the dragon, Royzendeus, they discover that history is never made alone. As they travel, their army of light grows, and Aurie discovers that as a girl, she is blessed with an entire sisterhood she never realised existed.




Alison Clarke is a writer who delves into different fields. She is a children's author, but is now joining the world of young adult literature. Her latest book, The Sisterhood, chronicles her latest journey in this odyssey. A tale filled with Celtic, Greek, and Ghanaian mythology, The Sisterhood will delight all audiences. Kids, ten and up, as well as adults will be entranced with the story of Oppie and Aurie. Oppie is the daughter of a sorceress, and Aurie, her best friend, is a dragon. In the first book of this trilogy, they go on a journey to save the universe.

Alison Clarke's passion for the Arthurian tales, as well as medieval literature like Chaucer, also fuels her writing. Her first degree is in Sociology with a double minor in French and English. She is now working on a Master's degree in Children's literature. Storytelling is her calling, and whether she is writing, painting, or drawing, story is key.

Reading is another passion, and many different genres interest her, including biography, fantasy, poetry, art books, and so on. Alison believes that the word is a powerful thing, and this is evident in many different literary forms. She also believes that art, whether it's literary or visual can change the world, can make the world a better place.
