Review
"With her visionary sensibility, Anne Perry is the master of the 'you are there' school of hist-myst storytelling."--The New York Times Book Review
"Remarkable . . . [Anne Perry sets] an engaging personal story against a rich backdrop of events to convey the intrigue and extreme peril that characterized the struggles between the faiths of the countries bordering the Mediterranean in the thirteenth century."--The Star-Ledger"[Perry] gives the reader a real feel for the sights, sounds and smells of Constantinople in the time of the Crusades, as well as tastes of Venice, Rome, Sicily, and Jerusalem."--St. Louis Post-Dispatch "Perry escalates the tension in subtle ways [and] creates a deep sense of impending doom."--Dayton Daily News "[A] grandly scaled epic . . . with a canny eye for drama, [Perry] makes this complex historical background both vivid and clear."--Kirkus Reviews
