Description: Praise for From Unseen Fire : "'Rome with magic' turns out to be exactly the novel I wanted to read . The magic cleverly intertwines with religion, politics, and daily life. The characters appeal, especially the loving portrait of three loyal sisters. There are battles (of course), a budding love story of the illicit kind, some remarkably topical political maneuvering, an awareness of diverse layers of class and ethnicity, and a love of place that shines on the page." --Kate Elliott, author of Cold Magic and Black Wolves " A unique and well-studied fantasy take on the Roman world -- an alternate world of another name, where ambition is a driving force and magic is real." -- C. J. Cherryh, Hugo-winning author of the Foreigner novels "Cass Morris brings ancient Rome to life with all its particular details, passions, and political intrigue, and populates it with captivating characters . Then she sprinkles it with magic. Yeah, that's the stuff."--Kristen Britain, New York Times bestselling author of the Green Rider novels "Morris' epic-fantasy debut melds Roman history and elemental magic into a spellbinding tale of political machinations.... Fans of I, Claudius and Game of Thrones are in for a treat in this series starter. The combination of history, dark and light magic, family, political and religious rivalry, and military conflicts will draw readers from many genres." --Booklist (starred review) "Morris' ambitious debut is rich in detail and intricate in its plotting." -- Barnes & Noble Sci-Fi and Fantasy Blog " From Unseen Fire is brilliantly imagined and plotted . Its world is rich, with no detail left unattended to. Cass Morris has generated Tolkien-level tomes of information about the world of Aven to make the world come alive." -- BookPage
