Praise for the DRAGON'S LEGACY Saga
"You have to surrender to the domination of the author, and trust that she isn’t just freewheeling. Otherwise you lose that precious sense of depth, which J.R.R. Tolkien, J.K. Rowling and George R.R. Martin were all able to sustain over multiple books... Ms. Wolf [is] off to a good start.”—The Wall Street Journal
"An intricate story... This book will leave readers with intense curiosity about its different cultures and anxiously awaiting a sequel."—Booklist
"A well-crafted, intricate blend of the politics and magic of multiple cultures."—Publishers Weekly
"A powerful, compelling read that combines elements of epic fantasy with strong storytelling. Reminiscent of the classic fantasy novel Dune, The Dragon’s Legacy is an addictive start to a promising, exciting trilogy....a welcome, desert-scented breath of fresh air, worth devouring, again and again."—Foreword Reviews
“Wolf's debut is ambitious… There are intriguing world building and poignant moments to be found here... Wolf writes for a big screen…”—Kirkus Reviews
"Wolf’s style of storytelling, more nomadic and episodic like the world and people she has created, may be initially challenging for some readers, but the tale’s mysteries, the world’s grandeur, and vivid, strong characters will reward those who persevere. Fantasy fans who crave stories that eschew traditional gender roles, as well as those who find Celtic-analog cultures wearisome, will be pleased with this intriguing new offering."—New York Journal of Books

"A mesmerizing tale of intrigue and magic that is as richly detailed as it is lethally entertaining."—Tina Lecount Myers, author of The Song of All
"This will knock your socks off. Wolf is rewriting epic fantasy."—Sarah Chorn, Bookworm Blues

"Wolf's lush and painterly prose is reminiscent of Jacqueline Carey, impelling the reader to savor every sight and sound and smell. Highly recommended."—Katherine Kurtz, acclaimed author of the Deryni novels
