"Gibson has an uncanny knack for getting into the grit of a story and bringing it to life and love on the page. Between the vibrant prose, perfectly flawed characters, and exquisite tension, I was demanding more with every page and Gibson delivered. A stunning sequel that is quite simply a must-read." - Hazel McBride, author of A Fate Forged in Fire "It's a pleasure to watch these three amusing characters fit together the puzzle of their relationship.This is an audacious and uncommon romp." - Publishers Weekly "A bruising and beautiful tale of devotion and desperation that explores the lengths people will go to for desire and ambition--and the anchoring power of multifaceted love, trust, and intimacy to always catch them when they threaten to fall too far." - Laura R. Samotin, author of The Sins on Their Bones "This treat of a character study is as lush as carmine velvet, as juicy as sun-warmed blackberries, and as rich as a glass of vintage port.

This story of magic, love, spirituality, and ambition is not only a joy to read but the best depiction of polyamory I've seen." - Emma Sterner-Radley , author of Snowblooded "A painfully human tale about the price of ambition and the weight of pride, Gibson draws us into a multifaceted world of mysticism and magic, forcing us to confront the darkest questions at the heart of our souls--how far would you go for power, and what are you without it?" - K. M. Enright , Sunday Times bestselling author of Mistress of Lies.
