Lindsey Byrd grew up in New York before moving abroad for graduate research studies. She is an amateur birder and enjoys going for hikes to take photos of nature. She enjoys all forms of speculative fiction, and is an avid researcher of history.
Thoughtful mythology and an unusually gentle queer love story set this book apart. It's a stellar start to a promising series -- Lucy Holland, author of <i>Sistersong</i> Byrd expertly weaves in war and intrigue, the games the powerful like to play, and contrasts that with the personal, the mundane, and the intimate -- T. L. Huchu, author of <i>The Library of the Dead</i> The delicious romance and thorny court intrigue keep the pages turning, and a clever late plot twist shocks. This hits all the right notes -- <i> Publisher's Weekly</i>, starred review I really enjoyed this! The writing was wonderful * Metaphors and Moonlight * I adored this book . . . A queer epic fantasy with royalty, god-blessed people with life and death powers, two countries at war with complex politics. What else could you need in a fantasy book?! * Abi of Pellinor Book Reviews *
