“Alchemy, herbal magic, and mystery work together to create a fascinating and exotic tale of fantasy intrigue.” —Library Journal
“An unusual and successful blend of fantasy and mystery. . . . Familiarity with the previous books in the series isn’t necessary, as the authors provide just the right amount of background on Astreiant for readers to get their bearings. . . . A page-turner that is sure to win them new fans.” —Publishers Weekly
“A fantasy of manners, a mystery, and a swashbuckler all at the same time. Through it all it maintains an almost Shakespearian sensibility, infused with the spirit of the theater where much of the action occurs.” —Lambda Book Report
