"Deri was well and truly caught, a fly in the web of words and wonder spun by the actors on the stage."

-Trip Galey, A Market of Dreams and Destiny

"Woven of wise women’s insight and young men’s dreams, of societal expectations and half-moon’s beams, Maurlocke’s robe habitually changed its form to match the expectations of the merchant’s customers."

-Trip Galey, A Market of Dreams and Destiny

"But it was humbling. Awe-inspiring, even. There was a gravity about the stone, a surreal sense of vastness. And the resonant sense of lost love, the sheer depth of it reverberated through the stone, reaching out to Deri across more than a millennium, an echo of shared humanity knifing into Deri’s core."
