Review:
McIntosh has assembled a wonderfully varied cast of royals, soldiers, and assassins for her swashbuckling tale. . . I can't wait for the next volume. (STARBURST)
A very promising start to an engaging tale (SFX)
[a] delightful and fast-moving story. (Publishers Weekly)
It's a 'just one more chapter (sort of book. Don't start reading MYRREN'S GIFT in the evening if you have to get up early the next morning!’)
Book Description:
A wonderfully fast- paced, page-turning fantasy, featuring a truly original fantasy concept
