"THE LADY OF THE CLIFFS IS AN INTRICATE AND LUSH ADDITION TO THE HISTORICAL FANTASY GENRE
​BY ONE OF THE LITERARY MAESTROS OF OUR TIME."
                                                                  ~ CHANTICLEER BOOK REVIEWS


"Megge is a protagonist easy to fall in love with, to root for, to worry about, and when dark forces enter her world, Kightlinger’s storytelling abilities shine."
​

        ~ David Anthony Durham, author of Pride of Carthage and the Acacia ​trilogy
