—Linda Sandifer,
author of Raveled Ends of Sky
“Brandvold takes readers on a gritty 1800s version of The Odyssey of Homer … . A huge cast of vivid characters with real-life motives, Brandvold remembers to keep a reader’s senses alive throughout. Compelling. A trip into the past worth taking.”
—Fred Bean,
author of Black Gold
“Gritty, gripping, and grand … . Brandvold is a natural talent. He ropes you at the beginning and pulls you along at a breakneck pace to a rousing finish.”
—David Robbins,
author of Diablo
