“Gladstone continues to trump his already considerable accomplishments in this tightly paced fantasy legal thriller.”—Publishers Weekly

“This is some of the smartest, most original and sophisticated world-building I’ve read in years, and fun, and fast-paced, and did I mention smart?”—NPR

“A gripping, smart story that has you running through the pages trying to keep up.”—Portland Book Review

“While it’s the richness of the world that initially draws a reader in—his places feel fully lived in rather than meticulously constructed—it’s [Gladstone’s] voice that keeps you there.” —Locus

“An intelligent, entertaining and gripping thriller.”
