"Lackey and Edghill know how to spin a yarn... Fast-paced action... There's also a touch of romance, and readers who appreciate everything from X-Men to Harry Potter will be begging for the sequel." --Booklist on Shadow Grail #1: Legacies "The authors expertly balance a heady mixture of mystery and teenage romance." --RT Book Reviews on Shadow Grail #1: Legacies
