Review:

Lavishly sensual . . . a richly detailed world based on a reversal of standard genre clich�s (Library Journal)

Darkly mesmerising . . . [a] fascinating, dark world (Locus)

A uniquely realised fantasy filled with vibrant colours and rich textures (Romantic Times)

a strong, emotional read. At times I was on the brink of tears, then I was appalled or horrified, and just as suddenly I felt a ray of hope. (All About Romance)

Lavishly sensual, sexuality breathes throughout the book, with a humming roar of violence lurking in the background, or sometimes just exploding across the page in a fury . . . (SFFWorld)

an incredible world that I will never forget (Goodreads)
