"Clare Dunkle brings a fresh new voice to the high art of fantasy. She creates a world filled with intense excitement, terror, beauty, and love-a world as persuasive as it is remarkable. Splendid!" --Lloyd Alexander
"[A] fresh, powerful twist on the Beauty-and-the-Beast theme, and the impact of Dunkle's evocative storytelling lingers long after the final page." --Booklist
"[F]irst time novelist Dunkle turns out a luminously polished fantasy that starts off strong and just gets better. . . .The story line does not slow, offering suspense and plenty of evil to be vanquished. A masterly debut, it will almost certainly leave audiences hoping for more." --Publishers Weekly, starred
"This is an interesting fantasy world with well-realized characters." --School Library Journal
"[A] charming fantasy romance." --Locus
Clare B. Dunkle is also the author of By These Ten Bones. A native of north Texas, she and her family currently live in Germany.
