Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

Siblings Calliope and Rafe, along with Dionisio and Paul, are Ecstasiathe most popular band in Elysia, a city of jewels and feathers, of magic and music, where the only crime is growing old. Then Calliopes visions take her to Under, where the Old Ones go to die, and where her parents had vanished long ago. Rafe joins her there, in search of the Doctor, who can bring back the dead to ease their loved ones broken hearts. And that is when rapture turns to nightmare.

Review:

This begs not just to be read, but to be re-read, and savored. (Publishers Weekly, starred review for Echo) The sorceress of iridescent language is back again. (Kirkus Reviews for Echo) Transcendent. (The New York Times) A sensualist's paradise. (Spin)
