Critical Reviews
"I found myself tearing through the book to uncover every twist Cold delivers in their distinctive, delightful voice. The Duke stole my heart right out of my chest, and he'll steal yours too."
--S. Hati, author of And the Sky Bled
"Delightfully gruesome. Part murder mystery, part Regency romp, Elias Cold's queer horror-tinged tale kept me hooked to the very last page. I loved it."
--Alicia Jasinska, author of The Midnight Girls and This Fatal Kiss
"Darkly witty, richly atmospheric, and achingly tender. With incisive commentary on gender and identity--alongside a fresh magic system--queer readers will be both captivated and comforted by Cold's YA debut."
--Cass Biehn, author of Vesuvius
"Delightfully original. This is a world readers will want to lose themselves in over and over again."
--David Ferraro, author of A Vile Season and The Alchemy of Moonlight
