The vividly crafted characters simply force you to care about them, and even those we might easily dismiss as villains show the complications of people who disagree with each other, but are not necessarily evil. Deborah's world is painstakingly crafted, revealing a multi-layered tapestry of history, mythology and culture, all blending into a masterful gestalt.<br />As we follow the younger generation of her matriarchal desert culture, all grasping for adulthood, they find their hopes and dreams will not quite meet reality, as the explosive secrets and errors of their parents all unfold at once. Now both generations must discover who they can really trust and discover the hidden truths that may allow them to save their homelands from destruction and war."Duane Wilkins, University Bookstore in Seattle, WA<br /><br />Wolfs debut fantasy is remarkably assured and deeply detailed, offering a unique universe and a trope-twisting narrative that plays out in unexpected ways. -Barnes &amp; Noble SFF blog<br /><br />Reading it is like watchingtheworks of Wagner and Mozart performed onstage: you connect withthestory, it resonates within, its song makes your bones hum like a tuning fork. Make no mistake, this is truly operatic epic fantasy. - Barnes &amp; Noble SFF blog<br /><br />The Dragons Legacy will give you everything youre looking for and more. Im looking forward to the next installment.Black Girl Nerds<br /><br />one of the finest epic fantasies I have ever had the privilege of reading Beauty in Ruins<br /><br /><i><i><br /><br /> </i> </i>
