Publisher Description
"Wish I could give it 10 stars. Love it. The story grabs you and puts you in such suspense and over the edge until the end."—Lunanima
"This book is filled with a complex yet fluid retelling of two separate myths that have been intricately weaved together in a way that it pulls you head-first into the story. Throughout it all I found myself completely entranced by this, and I had a hard time putting down my Kindle once I got started. Only for the need of sleep did it take me two days to finish... Lasota did a wonderful job of creating characters that were truly human in their decisions and desires." —Michelle Gilmore

"In this beautifully written first novel, Cheri Lasota pens an epic tale of romance and fate versus free will with a strong female lead... Lasota's writing style is gorgeous and poetic, but the plot moves at a generous pacing and never gets bogged down by the narrative." —Soleil Noir
"Left me breathless and spellbound. I wanted to live inside its pages." —Karen Hooper, Author of Tangled Tides
