"Brilliant and passionate. Hard-edged, glittering rides through the dark." 
-- Jack Mc Devitt, author of Infinity Beach and Deepsix 

"Mary Soon Lee invokes her characters with such humanity, no matter how fantastical their circumstances, that they seem to effortlessly come to life. Her lovely, lyrical prose is likely to make readers feel they have been dropped into a dream from another world -- a world potentially as real as our own." 
-- Kara Dalkey, author of Genpei and Blood of the Goddess trilogy
