Rich in imaginative worldbuilding. . . . As Lua’s skepticism about her purpose grows, what initially resembles a straightforward battle between good and evil develops into a pensive exploration of how ancient systems can shape individual worldviews. . . . emphasizes the importance of forging one’s own path when tradition demands conformity.
—Publishers WeeklyThis adventure-filled debut features intricate, captivating worldbuilding that explores gods, destinies, and blood magic. Lua faces plenty of external danger, but it’s her internal turmoil as she wrestles with grief and the dismantling of everything she believes that gives the story weight. . . . the threads come together in a satisfying way. . . . A lush and compelling epic fantasy.
