"This is close to a flawless novel. The characters are all fully and insightfully developed; the storyline is impressively tapestried; the author excels at imagery and symbolism, layering a subtle yet powerful avian motif throughout. But it’s the immersive nature of the narrative that makes this novel so hard to put down."--Blue Ink Reviews, Starred Review
“N. L. Holmes is a spellbinding storyteller who seamlessly employs her extensive background in archeology and brings to life a culture and a people out from the ruins of time. Highly recommended!” – Chanticleer Reviews, 5-star Best Book
"An engaging historical murder mystery that’s fun to read, highly informative and full of wonderful characters set in the changing political landscape of Egypt, 1343 BCE."--IndieReader Review
