I was given this book by the author for review - and I loved it, as I have all the other books connected to The Chronicles of M.

This tale is rich in the telling, very well written and a wonderful background story of Hitori and how her warrior status is earned - the sword is particularly intriguing.

It is full of magic, enchantment, danger and mystery, with fabulous descriptions in a world brimming with mythical and monstrous enemies. Brought into this life by a god...oh, no, I don't give spoilers!

I loved this story from beginning to end and was hooked from the first page. A definite must read and highly recommended.

More please...:)

I loved this. It is a fast-paced, historical fantasy adventure story with lots of action and mythical creatures. A well-told story that really puts you in the time period, without bogging you down with too many details. A great story if you haven't read Chronicles of M. But if you have, it gives you some background on a certain strange warrior woman who has an odd relationship with her sword. I just keep thinking how many years there are between the end of this story and Chronicles of M...
