My friend Dale Stromberg is releasing his highly anticibated epic high-fantasy novel in October. He is currently looking for ARC readers.

Here are a couple of reviews so far:

“At once an ambitious, densely plotted adventure, a commentary on gender and class, and a linguistic tour de force, this is a true work of art.”

—Rachel A. Rosen, author of Cascade

“The plot is a delightful Rube Goldberg machine, elaborate and surprising, filled with political intrigue, action, twists, tragedy, and even a touch of romance.”

—Briar Ripley Page, author of Corrupted Vessels

“Stromberg wields the pen of a poet and the mind of a craftsman, creating an intricate puzzle-box of a book.”

—Ryszard Merey, author of Read and Then Burn This
