The hand she scratched when leaving Old City with the drum, the hand that she paints with, the one that begins to tremble when she notices a growing discoloration. She is marked now, and only Bramley’s cantankerous, sullen, comical figure of a housekeeper, Goon, and her mystical, musical friend, Meran, can help her now.

Lack of any real ideas at the heart of the bookover-reliance on violence to further the story (although, of course, this is a book about a war!)barely above average pulp science fiction.

lush, evocative, spellbinding tales Not for the squeamish or faint of heartsome tales can be quite disturbing

Loveable, Memorable. None.
