"Here is a grand adventure pitting two...warrior castes against each other, with the fate of a continent hanging in the balance. The story should have been told before, but thank God it waited for Coldsmith to tell it." -- Loren D. Estleman, author of Edsel
"Gripping and imaginative...believable characters, realistic (and often witty) dialogue, vivid prose and nonstop action."
-- Publishers Weekly
