"Well-drawn characters and a literate way with the grisly distinguish this first of a new fantasy series from Stoker-winner Lebbon.... any of the well-handled action scenes are from the bad guys' point-of-view, an unusual perspective that helps round out the author's fantasy world."
-- Publishers Weekly

"Tim Lebbon displays the sort of cool irony and uncanny mood-making that drive the best Twilight Zone stories."
-- New York Times Book Review

"This is fantasy for grown-ups….An excellent book.”
-- Paul Kearney

"A riveting work of staggering imagination."
-- F. Paul Wilson, author of the Repairman Jack novels
