- I'm glad I was on vacation when I read the book.  I couldn't put it down! Drawn from page one, I found it totally absorbing and well written with a depth of insight, character personalities, and intriguing plot!

-I'm tired of cheap romance novels and wanted something I could 'sink my teeth into'. This book captivated me from the beginning and satisfied my interest in romance, intrigue, mystery and adventure. I'll hope there will be a sequel.

- I have never read a book that has so captivated me from the very first page as this one did.  I found the characters very real and the circumstances they found themselves in very believable.  With every chapter I couldn't wait to find out what the next chapter had in store for me.  The writing is superb, and very easy to follow.  If you want a story that combines romance with intrigue, seasoned with a struggle for power, this is the book you want.  Congratulations, Ronnie Carroll, for a superbly written fiction that seems so real.

- Ms. Carroll, your novel was a true adventure in reading. It made me cry, it gave me hope, it made my heart soar with love and contract with anger and despair. But most importantly, it made me think. Whatever plane you have created this world on, it is certainly parallel to the one we all live in today. You are a genius at dialog and drawing the reader in with lessons on humanity that we should all take time in our lives to ponder. Thank you for writing this story. And although we have never met, I just want to thank you for all that you are!

 - Your book was just as enjoyable at the end as it was at the beginning and at all points in between. I really enjoyed the writing style as it gave just enough suspense between sections/chapters to make me want to continue reading to find out what has happened to "the other" characters. I thoroughly enjoyed the balance of suspense and intrigue that kept the story moving. This is definitely one book I did not want to put down.

I am surprised the world has not caught up with Ronnie Carroll, a brilliant storyteller whose 1st publication had a tremendous impact on me, not just because of the enthralling, can't put down, page turning saga, but of the genius of the mind that created it!!! I rushed home from work each evening just to catch up with Celeste & Demetrius, the stars of what should be made into a major motion picture...Indeed, Ms. Carroll's gift for imagery and attention to descriptive detail literally transported me into a visual world that made me feel as if I was a actually present in the Kingdom of Diandia...I recommend this book to all who enjoy a great work of fiction, especially to Oprah Winfrey's Book Club, this exciting story of love that overcomes tremendous obstacles should be translated into all the languages of the world!!  I wait anxiously for Ms. Carroll's next creation.
