Review quote
A novel with moments of such extraordinary beauty and quiet power that it is impossible, having read it, not to look at the world anew. That in itself is a masterful achievement. A stirring historical romance...sweeps out a lot of the old cliches about witches and casts an enchanting spell in favor of bold women everywhere.--Ron Charles Fletcher gives readers a strong plot...and a triumphant heroine in Corrag, whose travails are truly epic.
