Reviews

<p>With a leaner, cleaner style of writing, the rich mythology of  CMT Stibbe's world grips us right from the outset. Already we have a sympathetic protagonist and a clear story arc in the first chapter - already we're looking forward to where  the story will take us. <br />   <br /><em>Rachel Faulkner, Digital Project Editor, Harper Collins Publishers </em></p> <p>Written historically with the knowledge of an archeologist and the passion of a troubadour, readers will be bound by the spell that C.M.T. Stibbe weaves from the very first page.</p> <p><em>John Breeden II, Author of Old Number Seven</em></p> <p>The author is well versed in historical fiction and is able to call upon a wealth of self-gained knowledge of ancient Egypt, the subject as huge as the land base it represents. I do love this book for the way it's written.</p> <p><em>Neville Kent, Author of The Secrets of the Forest Series and One Off, Sir!</em></p> <p>The author's research is excellent. Her description verges on the poetic and is in keeping with the superstitious and spiritual culture she invokes. A very powerful and poetic piece of literature.</p> <p><em>Karen Charlton, Author of The Heiress of Linn Hagh and Catching the Eagle</em>.</p>
