This story kept me busy keeping track of the many secrets and identities. It's a magnificent example of a complex story with many levels and fascinating, colorful characters. I couldn't put it down, still reading at 3 am.
I can't wait to finish reading this book! A woman who has to save her family, intrigue and action. It has all the makings of a great story...and the cover is awesome.
Exactly my kind of story. Awesome cover and exciting premise.
Awesome! Such a clever idea to weave a pesky mystery into swords vs magic!
This is a killer cover
