"With wit and passion, Lauri Owen constructs a world both fantastic and familiar -- a world of strong women and the occasional valiant and ethical man in a world of patriarchal poseurs and obedient drones. Like Dorothy in Oz, Kiera struggles heroically to be taken seriously by men--and to finally get home; unlike Dorothy, though, her adventures are morally complex, cleverly witty, and deliciously sexy."
Michael Kimmel
author of Manhood in America
"Flawlessly written and deeply compelling. Lauri J Owen takes you on a journey through the wilds of an alternate Alaska, full of strange, new magic. Snared in the complex politics that suppress the weak and betrayed by the love that she finds, Kiera must battle against more than just a corrupted nobility in her search for justice and the way back home. We are drawn with her relentlessly as she follows her heart regardless of the price, to emerge from this dark and enthralling fantasy with hope for the future."
Pippa Jay
author of Keir
"Lauri J. Owen's Fallen Embers is a gorgeously written journey into an alternate-world Alaska ruled by powerful magic. Kiera is an unforgettable heroine finding her way in this strange, cruel land as she discovers her own mysterious powers. At the heart of it all is a passionate love story with a hero to die for. Be warned, you'll have a hard time putting this book down and it will stay with you long after you do. I highly recommend Fallen Embers to anyone who loves magic, passion, and wonderful storytelling,"
Juniper Bell
author of My Three Lords
"A deliciously rich, empowering fantasy epic that features complex and realistic characters. Every woman who has had her beauty, her competence, her worth questioned will find in Kiera a relatable heroine that proves one person's strength and compassion can not only make a difference but inspire a nation."
