For readers drawn to expansive magical worlds and the intensity of a love forged amid danger and destiny this novel is a captivating choice. - <em>Chanticleer Book Reviews</em></p><p></p><p>The romance is organically unfurled with some seriously swoony moments that can only happen when powers interact through the tattoos. Action is fierce from wing training and hemomancy to blood-and-mud stuck to hair introducing trials and gold daggered fight scenes... Bosshard's writing is on a constant throttle forward and I'm excited to see where we go next. Very highly recommended. - <em>Readers' Favorite</em></p>
