Critics Review

“Brackston seamlessly blends horror, fantasy, and mystery…readers with a penchant for gothic fantasy won’t want to miss this.” – Publisher’s Weekly

“Hecate Cavendish is a breath of fresh air - a young woman who knows her own mind and is prepared to swim against the tides of her time - and ours. Her capacity to explore the reaches of reality with courage and panache is a delight. This is a charming, uplifting, lyrical read, a perfect antidote to the roller-coaster angst of our times.” – Manda Scott, Author of The Boudica Dreaming Series
