Description: "A splendid launch. Turner's unquestionably a newcomer to watch." -- Kirkus Review, starred review "Turner has taken many familiar and popular fantasy elements and made them his own.... As a result, it's a pretty dark, gothic tale and world. I have a feeling this is going to be a hit with fantasy fans of all types. Definitely recommended." -- Civilian Reader "Quite gripping.... Promises more thrills and chills to come." -- Critical Mass "Mark Turner wrote a damn fine book." -- Fantasy Review Barn "It's increasingly rare that an epic fantasy can manage to sustain my interest through the climax, and keep me reading closely, enjoying the details and nuances, as opposed to skimming ahead to find out how it all ends. The darkness, the magic, and the very idea of power really appealed to me here, and I felt Turner did a masterful job of building the story towards that climax. It's a story that just got bigger, deeper, and more intriguing with each new revelation." -- Beauty in Ruins "This is a very large and intricate web that Marc Turner has spun... The ending is truly superb.... New and refreshing." -- The BiblioSanctum "One of the go-to books of the genre." -- Starburst Magazine
