"By blending thrilling adventure with ancient Celtic legend, Livingston (the Valiant series) delivers an elevated tale of magic and strife . . . a fierce and capable heroine, dynamic supporting characters, an original magic system, and myriad intriguing subplots will prove irresistible to fans of mythology-inspired fantasy." -Publishers Weekly

"History and magic intertwine in this fantasy retelling of ancient Celtic mythology . . . filled to the brim with sorcery and treason and with a pinch of romance . . . A lovely story fit for a mythical queen." -Kirkus Reviews

"Lesley Livingston spins her own dark magic upon the page in this gorgeously lush tale filled with dangerous shapeshifters, power-hungry Druids, and a rebel princess who will have you howling at the moon alongside a fearsome, feral warband. Livingston's ability to balance epic battle scenes and crackling adventure with soul-shattering romance is nothing short of legendary." -Shea Ernshaw, New York Times bestselling author of Long Live the Pumpkin Queen and The Wicked Deep

"This lyrical tale includes everything from sorcery and treason to a surprisingly deft exploration of the tension and social injustices between the original peoples of the kingdom of Eire and the king which has outlawed all their magic." -Paste magazine

"Queen Among the Dead is bright, authentic and spellbinding. The story takes place in a kingdom where magic is outlawed and druids hoard and misuse magic. When Eire is threatened, an outlaw and a princess team up to secure a safer future." -Kahill Perkins, Raven Book Store (Lawrence, KS)
