Jackson has woven real history with imagination and created a character and a story to believe in and cheer for." --Faith Hunter, bestselling and award-winning author of the Jane Yellowrock Series "A beautiful balance of magic and crime, history and fantasy that was fast-paced, compelling, and completely absorbing.
