REVIEW "This debut novel is a breath of fresh air but at the same time it is deeply rooted in mythology, religion and shamanism. Author is undoubtedly an erudite and has a great knowledge which makes this novel deeper than what you normally expect of this genre. The story is truly captivating and gritty, exhilarating and utterly gripping. H. Lyne's ferociously entertaining fantasy takes readers on a turbulent ride that they will never want to end. I couldn't put the book down and cannot wait for the second part!!!" - Customer Review
