Praise for Soleri : " Soleri is bloody and utterly epic. A huge saga in a rich and deeply original world." --Lev Grossman, New York Times bestselling author "Prepare to be ensnared in a web of ruthless politics and unbridled ambition, where even the authority of the emperor may be based on an ancient deception. Johnston builds an immersive world with elements of Egyptian and Roman history, myth, and religion. This story seethes with twists and turns, betrayals and secrets, and will keep you guessing until the very last page." --Cinda Williams Chima, New York Times bestselling author "Michael Johnston successfully blends ancient Egyptian history, empire building, and myth to form the beginning of an exciting addition to the fantasy genre." -- Manhattan Book Review.
