Edward O'Toole is one of Magick and The Occult's most innovative and creative minds. I knew this before I opened Clavis. How this mind would approach writing a work of historical value such as this intrigued me, and ultimately persuaded me to buy the book. I knew that O'Toole's other works, Sophia Bestiae and its companion Grimoire were unique and well worth the money, but how would this author do when tackling a story such as this?

The answer is: VERY WELL... Clavis is a remarkable book that offers a unique look into the life lived in this period of time which is so seldom explored. What impressed me most is that, clearly, O'Toole went more in depth in his research than any of his contemporaries. As meticulous and methodical as he is in his Magick, he is in his writing. And we're all richer for it.

April showers bring may flowers and an excellent opportunity to sit for hours and lose yourself in this historic fiction.

Clavis is a masterpiece and is worth your time and money. You'll never forget it and if you enjoyed it as much as I did you'll recommend it to anyone that enjoys ancient history and compelling fiction.

----------------------------------------------

"For a person who loves Classical Greece and Rome as much as I do, I can't believe it's taken so long to come across a book cover that captures the spirit of that time.

Once I saw this design by cover artist Troy O'Brien for author Edward O'Toole's Clavis, I had to feature it. The subtitle "A Will of Iron...A Soul to Lead" stirs plenty of curiosity given the image between the two axes features a woman."

Imagine a female Braveheart intent upon a multi-faceted quest of self-discovery, family preservation, honor and the emancipation of her homeland across a barbaric landscape filled with characters ruthless and savage; comical and unique. Containing a taste of the fantastical and magical, Edward O' Toole's "Clavis" is a delightful, entertaining and educational read that keeps you turning the pages. Wonderfully written, you become fully immersed and mesmerized within the story as the 13-year-old heroine, Clavis, must come-of-age in an ancient land ruled by the sword and the axe where women are supposed to know their place and never question it. Clavis, armed with the ability to see the ancient past and the nearing future, breaks all the rules to free her land from the clutches of a corrupt political system.

Clavis is a fun read, sure to delight those looking for a good, fast-paced story set in a unique setting and time.

Richly-detailed settings and descriptions of bronze-age life. The author went out of his way to make it as authentic as possible, and it pays off in a story that is believable -- you can really lose yourself in this one. Characters were strong, faced interesting challenges, and overcame them with bumps and stumbles along the way. A real epic fantasy, with heroes and heroines, political intrigue, fight scenes, and mysticism (though handled in a believable way). An underappreciated masterpiece!
