A gripping and beautifully plotted story told with verve and deliciously dark wit.
-The Daily Mail

A fascinating debut with shades of gothic fantasy and contemporary thriller, wrapped in a narrative full of vivid and detailed characters and worldbuilding, and an unusual premise.

Dean's unputdownable debut gives the phrase 'voracious reader' a new, very literal meaning...The fascinating magic system, impeccable and unusual worldbuilding, and well-shaded characters will keep readers riveted through every twist of this wild ride.
