Critics Review
This stellar debut is exactly the kind of book I love to read. It’s got scheming immortals, a perilous quest, and a ragtag band of eclectic, eccentric, exceedingly dangerous misfits setting out on a grand adventure. And did I mention the monsters? The skyships? The witty banter? Wait, are we sure I didn’t write this myself? This one’s a must-read, and I can’t wait to see where it goes from here. – Nicholas Eames, author of Kings of the WyldFun and thrilling with a cast of memorable characters. It’s hard to find a stronger debut novel. – Aaron N. Hall, author of The Legend of UhA spellbinding blend of found family, epic heisting, and murder-full suspense! – Andy Peloquin, author of DarkbladeThe very definition of rip-roaring. – Richard Swan, Sunday Times Bestselling author of The Empire of the Wolf series.
