"This debut historical fantasy sees a Russian family battle dark forces in the wilds near the Black Sea. For his series opener, Stephens offers a fantasy focusing on primal good and evil that should entrance fans of The Lord of the Rings trilogy. This first volume's magical crescendo should create loyal readers who will return for more fairytale-style grandeur. A captivating start to an Eastern-flavored and methodically built fantasy epic." -Kirkus Review "Samuil and the Legendary Snowl Owl is an ambitious fantasy novel that pits the might of tough people against demonic anger." -Foreword Clarion Book Review "[A] dynamic reminiscent of Dostoyevsky or Chekov... a tale full of imaginative creatures and mythical conflicts... concise action, and his skill for creating strong characters makes the first entry in the series engaging and memorable."
