About the author

Peta Crake grew up in a small town on the south coast of Western Australia, where the idea of fairies and monsters residing in the thick forests was perfectly believable.

After spending nearly a decade living in Japan and reveling in its culture, she turned her hand to writing.

Now living back in Australia with a husband, two kids, a cuddle-addicted cat, and a thoroughly confused dog, she writes urban fantasy and paranormal romance full of strong sassy heroines, surprising heroes and disturbed side-kicks.

[Eleni Konstantine · Rating 5 out of 5]

The conclusion to the Ophelia Lind series doesn’t disappoint. Ophelia’s world continues to worsen - secrets and lies being at the heart of it. Her role as Harbinger weighs heavily as does trying to forget Aden. But when the chips are down, Ophelia doesn’t throw it all in. And that’s why she is a great character- she fights for what’s right. It doesn’t mean she doesn’t make mistakes - She’s been put in a difficult position and does the best she can.

A delightful read with fascinating twists and turns. Will be sorry not to read more about the gang but happy with the ending.

I loved this book, though I'm sad the series has finished. I want more. It had everything, action, romance, adventure and some awesome gods. I loved Phi and her determination to save those she cared about, even when all the odds were stacked against her. She is a likeable and gutsy heroine, and did I mention that I want MORE!
