Even secondary characters are granted some depth, rather than just providing background, and this allows for some interesting plot twists." --<i>Booklist</i><br><br>"That rarest of gems in series fantasy: an intermediate book in which genuinely decisive events occur. . . . Tchaikovsky tests all his characters in the full knowledge that many will fail, some heroically and others in despair. Readers who like their military fantasy to come with real consequences will be completely enthralled." --<i>Publishers Weekly</i><br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><p><b>Adrian Tchaikovsky</b> was born in Woodhall Spa, Lincolnshire, and headed off to university in Reading to study psychology and zoology.
