Quotes

'Set in a world that mixes all the best elements of witches and vampires, is a novel filled with romance and intrigue. However, it is the question of power—who holds the most and will they hold onto it—that will keep readers turning the pages long into … the dead of night'

'For anyone torn between Stefan and Damon Salvatore … A dark, smouldering story that burns to a furious finish, is peak romantasy. Featuring courtly politics, slow-burn courtships, and a love triangle with bloodsucking brothers, this is a gloriously enjoyable start to a trilogy'

‘A compelling exploration of power and intimacy that keeps the reader tethered to the electric dance between Finn and the Hellebore brothers. Bespelling, high-stakes, and rife with courtly intrigue, had me burning midnight oil and will, doubtless, inspire the same fervour in readers’

'Seductive and richly imagined, is an outstanding debut. With a torturously steamy love triangle and razor-sharp intrigue, this is romantasy at its most addictive. Buckley has crafted an enthralling tale which drips with magic and shadows, and will stay with its reader long after the final page'

'Vampires, witches and a whole host of political intrigue: say less. Throw in a complicated love triangle, and you've got yourself a winner. A magical romantasy debut’
