Reviews
"A work of mind-bending imagination and power . . . A must-read for all fantasy fans" * Julia Eccleshare, Lovereading *
"'A gripping story of horrific proportions from a prize-winning author.'" * Publishing News *
". . .this is more than a vivid story, full of passion, intrigue and terrifying violence. It is also beautifully wrought." -- Anne Johnstone * Glasglow Herald *
"'Based on the same Nordic saga as the award-winning BLOODTIDE, this is another riveting story.'" * The Bookseller *
"Burgess's great triumph is not so much in inventing new stories as in finding fresh ways of retelling the ones that are themselves in danger of falling into extinction." -- Kathryn Hughes * Guardian *
