'WITCHSIGN is crammed with delicious mythology and populated with irresistible characters - a treat for anyone who loves fresh, modern fantasy' JEN WILLIAMS, author of The Copper Cat and The Winnowing Flame trilogies 'Witchsign triggered that 'I can't wait to get back to it' feeling in me. The current of the story caught me right away and I was swept along with the characters. Den Patrick hit the perfect mix of immediate action and characters I cared about. His prose wastes no words. (I loved the concept of the cinderwraiths!)' ROBIN HOBB Praise for THE BOY WITH THE PORCELAIN BLADE: 'A unique and engaging voice' Starburst 'Swordfights, violence and full-tilt action...familiar intrigues with a darker more gothic touch' SFX
