The unfolding tale keeps the reader guessing right to the end." - Karen Eisenbrey author of The Gospel According to St. Rage and the forthcoming Daughter of Magic "Hauntingly captivating. Perfect for fans of The Unbecoming of Mara Dyer and all things myth and fantasy. I can't wait to read the next one!" - YA Literature, Media, and Culture Research Network "Sang Kromah weaves a tale rich in drama and TV melodrama!
