Eva Pohler is back with her usual eloquently written, approachable writing style in this tale that melds romance, mystery, and history together into an unforgettable whole.  She takes some of the darker, less common ritualistic aspects of certain societies and brings them to the forefront in a captivating and inescapable manner.  The history wound through this story is absolutely breathtaking.  The past and the present come together seamlessly in this novel to create a work of sheer genius.  Pohler’s intricate storytelling is highlighted by her very visual descriptions, allowing you to enter this world completely.The characters in this novel really help to drive the point home through their actions and reactions.  The main characters are very well developed as individuals.  It was nice to see two such individuals who would stick to their beliefs and could put said beliefs into words.  The supporting cast is also quite unique.  I appreciated the fact that each character had a definite purpose in the story and that purpose was integral in some way to the forward motion of the tale.Overall this was a hauntingly poignant tale that will stick with me in the long run.  I can’t wait to read the next novel in the series and would definitely recommend this to others.Please note that I received this novel free of charge from the author in exchange for an honest review.
