".
. . excellent fantasy . . . There is plenty of action, irony,
and emotion in this tale of two
kinds of people: religious zealots and paranormals. This is
a richly crafted book. We look forward to reviewing the rest
of the series and rated this book a score of five hearts."
~ Bob Spear, Heartland Reviews
"This is a terrific
epic fantasy with an enjoyable final twist that readers
will sort of see coming, but will be surprised
anyway. The story line is fast-paced and filled with
action as the ethnic cleansing seems heading into Armageddon
unless Rhiannon and Gwydion can stop the obsessed Warleader
from his final solution. Sub-genre fans will enjoy Holly
Taylor’s fine tale once the genocidal countdown to a
country-wide High Noon begins."
