Technology, in one swift blow, destroyed a decades-long publishers' bias against fantasy. It demonstrated that what people were really buying was simply not reflected in the old bestseller lists, based as they were on reports from a small panel of bookshops.

This debut novel and its two sequels in the 'Bitterbynde Trilogy' went on to win fans and accolades across the globe."
