And like any good mystery, the plot is unpredictable." -VOYA "Rich in historical detail, well-realized characters, political machinations, and enticingly prickly scenes between Ismae and Duval, LaFevers's complex tale incorporates magic both sparingly and subtly. A page-turner-with grace." -"Kirkus", starred review "LaFevers is an artful storyteller who has created a strong lead character.The tale is one of scheming nobles, political subterfuge, murder, and romance-all of the best aspects of a good read. "With characters that will inspire the imagination, a plot that nods to history while defying accuracy, and a love story that promises more in the second book, this is sure to attract feminist readers and romantics alike."-"Booklist, " starred review "Fiction and history coalesce in a rich, ripping tale of assassinations, political intrigue and religion in 15th-century Brittany.LaFevers' ambitious tapestry includes poison and treason and murder, valor and honor and slow love, suspense and sexuality and mercy.
