Praise for Daughters of a Winter Night
“Assured and engaging epic fantasy debut, with heaps of heart. Belair makes both the worldbuilding and larking-out-on-a-quest material brisk and compelling, and he understands that no matter how much myth and ritual a fantasy offers, what matters most is characters who grow in the face of challenges, discovering not just their place in the world but also what’s in their hearts . . . Bring on volume two” Booklife – Editor’s Choice
“A fantasy of epic proportions. The world he created is vast and different from any other fantasy novel I have read. I have only praise . . . the characters (who they are, where they're from, how they act, and their beliefs), historical events, and the plot are woven together with the same mastery as, well, Time's Tapestry. Now, I implore you to read this book. (And I hope book two is released soon!)” - Reedsy Discovery
“Taking a cue from classic genre authors such as Robert Jordan, Belair grounds his fantasy debut in deep lore of prehistory and mythology. The author shows himself to be highly adept at vivid characterization, and his dialogue usually steers clear of the stilted, fustian prose style that sometimes hampers epic fantasy. He loads up his narrative with cosmic gimmicks—such as the powerful Keystone, which multiple characters seek—which will likely thrill experienced fantasy readers.” - Kirkus Reviews
“Combines rich worldbuilding with an exciting plot . . . well-developed characters and plenty of excitement and adventure . . . It is the first in a series and ends on a cliffhanger. I look forward to reading the rest of the books to see how the story ends.” Online Book Club
