Reviews
"... a lush, dreamy fable - both vintage gothic, and modern mystery ... lovingly laced with magic and darkness from start to finish." <em>-- Cherie Priest, NYT bestselling author of <strong>Boneshaker </strong></em><br /><br />"Barron's book is a sexy trek through alternate worlds, with a fascinating and detailed mythology. This one is a steampunk tale that doesn't play by the rules." -- <em>Mur Lafferty, award-winning author and podcaster of <strong>Heaven</strong> and <strong>Hell </strong></em><br /><br />"A brilliant, eloquent adventure through time, space, and the human heart." <em>-- Jonathan Wood, author of <strong>No Hero </strong></em>
