"I have just read this beautiful story by Anne Brooke. It is not only beautiful but powerful, full of magical properties. Brilliantly crafted and with a wonderful imagination. It kept me gripped, guessing and wondering all the way through. Pick up a copy of this excellent book. It's more than worth a read - it's a must-read." (From a review by Frederick K, author of The Enchanted School)

"What I really love is the constant tension ... whatever is brewing (no spoilers here!) comes to a dark, violent climax, followed by answers and revelations. A totally satisfying end, and I highly recommend this book." (From a review by Lizzie Mac, author of Family Secrets)
