Onine is the only Kyprian who knows his species' ultimate truth, and he fears for El. From the moment he sees her, a slave at the Bathing Temple, he wants to save her. But the only way for him to do so is to give up his beauty, forego his fire, and become clay like her. An easy task if it were as simple as him changing his form. Unfortunately, she is the one who must be transformed and become Kyprian like him. " ... a melody of words, singing off the page ... intellectually and poetically written, and a most fantastical piece of metamorphic fantasy ... another fabulous read from a brilliant author." William Bitner "Ambroziak's writing style is hauntingly smooth, melodic, and slightly sensual ... this is a story which, once read, will ingrain itself into the memory and might leave you questioning the validity of your core beliefs." L. F. Falconer ..". a rare excellent read ... I predict it is going to be a huge hit with fans of the genre." Reader's Favorite
