The choices she makes, and the people she meets, drive this mysterious and magical tale forward. Erika M. Szabo has much to offer in this most unusual story. Her characters are well developed, and the plot line is extraordinarily different. I was fascinated by some of the Hun traditions and history scattered throughout the book. I am sure readers will look forward to the next installment of Ms. Szabo's series. ~J.E. Rogers, Author
