This book was also published under the name "The Exile and the Sorcerer: Lyremouth Chronicles: Book One"

The other books in the series are "The Traitor and the Chalice: Lyremouth Chronicles: Book Two" and "The Empress and the Acolyte: Lyremouth Chronicles: Book Three" and finally "The High Priest and the Idol: Lyremouth Chronicles Book Four"

The other reviews tell enough of the story. What the reader needs to know is that this is a terrific book. It made me late to work on more than one day because I couldn't put it down. It's wonderful fantasy and has just enough touches of lesbianism to make it interesting. You will get caught up in this story. Normally, I would hope that a story this good would have a sequel, but I'm afraid a follow up might somehow diminish the original story. This one certainly stands alone.

This is one of the best lesbian-based fantasy novels I've read. Actually, it's one of the most enjoyable fantasy novels period. The author introduces us to Tevi, and within the first chapter, you are immediately drawn into Tevi's world and are crying for her, and cheering for her.
The main characters are well developed and believable, the prose is smooth and the action carries you from chapter to chapter. If you like fantasy novels, you'll love this story - it's engaging, endearing, sometimes scary and definitely delivers on all that a fantasy reader wants. I look forward to more from Jane Fletcher.
