"This story is filled with relatable, realistic characters with flaws that bring them to life on the page. All the characters had their pitfalls as well as redeeming qualities. I found myself so lost in the story, that the words became invisible on the page."
- Bestselling Paranormal Author Lilian Roberts

"A well-constructed sword-and-sorcery novel. It's a worthy read for mature audiences, and fantasy buffs will find this book an enjoyable addition to their collection."
- Bestselling Author John Dizon

"It's vibrant with wonder, has excellent fast paced dialog and strong female roles. Over all this is a fantastic first novel."
- Jennifer V. Clancy, Author

"Hellenthal has mastered the epic and her characters grow as the story unfolds with rare humanity. For a first book, the author succeeds exceptionally well in setting a serious tone with epic scope. Her fantastical elements and her characters romp around in their internally consistent other world on a magical quest that intrigues and inspires while laying bare the depths of her characters' emotions."
- Michael James Gallagher, Author

"A lyrical captivating fantasy with some beautiful imagery."
- Rob Ross, Author of Juggler's Blade

"This is not your average Damsel in distress and Knight in shining Armour, not by a long shot! I was pleasantly surprised with how well Ms Hellenthal wove a very well written tale full of danger, suspense, mystery, intrigue and eventually romance and joy. It was breathtaking and brilliant. The characters are so good I actually worried for them, fidgeting as I rode the twists and turns." - Ameliah Faith

"This story is captivating, well written, and the author has put a lot of thought into her characters that of depth, emotions, strength, and vulnerabilities." - Angela Crandall

"This book is a very original lesbian fantasy read." - Katrina                                                                    Note to the US readers: All her novels are written in British English, using the Oxford Dictionary. Words are therefore spelled slightly different. These are not errors, thank you!
