“Absolutely riveting novel… I fell utterly in love with Empress Athenais, so genuine and good and so alone in an increasingly unstable court and world. As remarkable is the author’s recreation of the everyday life of so long ago… Athenais will remain with me for a very long time. A truly remarkable heroine in a truly compelling story.”–Stephanie Cowell, American Book Award Recipient, author of Claude and Camille: A Novel of Monet.
“This was a highly enjoyable read I couldn’t put down. Faith’s attention to detail without bogging down the world building was excellent. Her characters are fully fleshed with flaws, human and believable. The pacing kept my attention. This book left me feeling well satisfied. If you’re looking for some historical fiction set in Italy, you will enjoy this book.” —Angela Yoriko Smith, editor Space & Time Magazine
“A dramatic, adventurous story…Thoroughly enjoyable and highly recommended!”–The Historical Novel Society
“It was outstanding! You are swept away not only by the beautiful storytelling, but also the wonderful illustrations.” –Bookish Delights
“The story is a winner from the start…”
–Middle Grade Minded
