'Like Hunger Games Ismae is a female assassin . . . A fantasy based on the rough contours of history . . . Game of Thrones-style.’ - New York Times
‘A page turner . . . Suspense and sexuality and mercy.’ - Kirkus, Starred Review
‘With characters that will inspire the imagination . . . this is sure to attract feminist readers and romantics alike.’ - Booklist, Starred Review
‘Rich in historical detail, well-realised characters, political machinations, and enticingly prickly scenes between Ismae and Duval, LaFevers’s complex tale incorporates magic both sparingly and subtly.’ - Publishers Weekly, Starred Review
