PRAISE AND REVIEWS

  • “The plot unfolds at an astonishing rate, and it’s tantamount to Schwab’s story-telling ability that the reader never, not even for a moment, loses track of the myriad twists and turns that beset the central character ... draws the reader straight into the heart of the tale and allows her characters to take centre stage in a well woven tale of intrigue, adventure, magic and sword-play”
