"Paranormal romance veteran Robson's first foray into romantasy is violent and gory, full of bloody fight scenes both in the gladiator ring and outside of it. It's also a tender love story that will appeal to readers of Milla Vane and Jennifer Armentrout." Booklist
"Robson (Weird Girls) sets up the power structures and politics of her Old Erth romantasy series with this epically gory and tense love story. Robson loads the story with deadly monsters, elaborate battles, evil machinations, personal secrets, and unsavory power grabs while keeping hero Leith sympathetic and easy to root for." Publisher's Weekly
"An expertly crafted page-turner with unpredictable twists, steamy romance, and magical creatures." Kirkus Reviews
"Filled with gladiators, dragons, and political intrigue with generous servings of lust and spice..." BuzzFeed
