Review:

'As bold and subversive as it is sweeping and romantic ... interweaving the politics of sex and power into a canvas of ancient history, Spedding's fantasy is vivid and turbulent' New Statesman 'Spedding brilliantly conveys the complex, flawed, driven personalities of a heroine and hero who share the same restless genius ... The depth and richness recalls Mary Renault, while the clear-eyed toughness merits comparison with Cecilia Holland' Locus
