"Belcher's enjoyable third historical fantasy employs considerable imagination to drop readers into a fully formed world of magic and mysticism, drawing on ancient cultures and rituals while serving up exciting action sequences . . . Fans of the Golgotha series will adore this, and new readers will find a rich new world to fall into as well as two very strong heroines to root for." - Publishers Weekly
