Ratings and reviews

Excellent book with an epic vision infused with eastern/western influences. The artwork is strongly infused by Steampunk and Manga with an art Deco vibe. Every page is masterpiece. This book is a Final Fantasy game meets game of thrones full of memorable characters and plot twists and taking place in a total original world. Highly recommended.

Finding a book of such immensity in scope, depth of character, and thoroughly fleshed out storyline is a true rarity! I downloaded the sample a year ago and never really thought twice about reading it. I simply can't put into words how glad I am that I did. I don't say this lightly when I say this is the beginning of a truly epic storyline. I can not wait to read the next installment.

at first it was kind of hard to follow but only because of the unfamiliar world building. I actually enjoyed this a lot and it has a lot of lovecraftian elements. I will definitely be following this story and buying more books.
