Editorial Review "The second book of two, partly adventure, partly drama. Enjoyed the first book, Oath Undo Me, but I think the second is better. I loved the time and setting, and the protagonist, Astrid, is fun to root for. She's tough, determined and everything a hero needs to be." Female reader from The Wishing Shelf Awards.
