"This is not a fluffy romance. There is animal sacrifice. There are creepy visuals that would make Guillermo del Toro green with envy. The book is deeply concerned about people being made monstrous, a very rich, queer place for a story to go. It knows the weight of terror, and what survival costs, and still wants you to feel that life — and love — are worth it."
—The New York Times"Three genuine stories of burning magic, soft touches, and the steam of blood on fresh-fallen snow: in this collection, Freydís Moon has captured so many forms of love and worship, and woven them into a stunning triptych you absolutely cannot miss."
—Andrew Joseph White New York Times bestselling author of Hell Followed With Us and The Spirit Bares Its Teeth"A Gothic saga about magic and love, full of heart and gore, romance and horror, Freydís Moon has masterfully crafted characters who bleed life onto the page. A captivating voice with brutal precision that will leave you as utterly, irrevocably obsessed as I am."
—Jamison Shea author of I Feed Her to the Best and the Beast is Me“Moon weaves a rich, intricate story bristling with defiance, gothicism, and characters as powerful and devoted as they are messy. Lyrical, haunting, and provocative in equal measure, The Gideon Testaments is a must-read series for fans of Andrew Joseph White and S.T. Gibson.”
—Sophia Slade author of Nightstrider
