"[This] debut fantasy spins standard tropes into a dark, morally
complex adventure."--Kirkus Reviews
"Blackburne offers up a complex world where no one is entirely evil
or good, and even those wrestling for power through less than civil
means are inspired by noble intentions. Kyra is an appealing
heroine, confident in her physical prowess but insecure in her
identity.... There are plenty of narrow escapes, thrilling chases,
and tender kisses to accompany the more thoughtful elements here,
too, and readers will be pleased with a satisfactory
conclusion."--BCCB
"Blackburne's fast-paced fantasy will please fans of Leigh Bardugo
and Tamora Pierce."--SLJ
"Kyra is a strong, capable female character not in search of a
rescue, and Tristam is not in search of a distressed damsel either.
On the whole, this is a satisfying read.... Put this in the hands
of fans of Suzanne Collins and Veronica Roth."--VOYA
