Born of the sun and of the moon, disfigured by fire and malady, comes the most powerful witch Algiers has ever seen... This is the story of a young woman, treated with utter disdain, complete distrust and even, hate, when all she tried to do " Read more of this review » |

“Do not be defined by a lover, or by anyone else for that matter. You are not an appendage, an add-on to the masculine world. And so, you must have your independence – not only of thought and spirit, but physical and financial. Independence will be your strength. Find it. Hold on to it. It is freedom, Mouse, and it will serve you well.”

“To dream is to live with your face brightened by moonlight. Yet dreams are only a shadow, my Mouse, a pale and rippled reflection of the way things could be. I know what a dreamer you are; we are cut from the same fabric where that’s concerned. But, if our dreams come true, we risk tainting them with the hard edge of reality. Sometimes it’s a risk worth taking, like working hard to become the greatest funambulist who ever lived. And, sometimes, it’s best to leave well alone and let daydreams stay in the world of our imagination. The trick is, finding which to leave and which to follow.”
