Praise for Diana Marcellas's Mother Ocean, Daughter Sea

"Mother Ocean, Daughter Sea is a beautifully written, often lyrical novel. The textures of myth and fantasy are firmly interwoven to support very realistic characters. Combining witchcraft with healing, although in an otherworld setting, is true to earth's own ancient traditions of witchcraft. The relationship between Brierley and Megan in particular will draw in the reader who remembers the prickly path of parent-and-child. Having created such a believable world Marcellas leaves the door open for further exploration. I, for one, look forward to it eagerly."-Morgan Llywelyn

"Mother Ocean, Daughter Sea is a compelling tale. . . . Marcellas has crafted an often poignant, wholly mesmerizing fantasy that is captivating in its depth of language and emotion. Readers will immerse themselves into a new land that will be hard to relinquish at the end of the book."-Romantic Times (4 1/2 stars)

"A hauntingly beautiful story, rich in texture and language, with a fascinating mythos and well-drawn, compelling characters. Marcellas weaves a tapestry of words, blending the legends of an all-but-forgotten power with the political intrigue of the seaside realm that sought to obliterate it, against the ever-darkening backdrop of the Beast in the depths waiting to consume them both. Riveting!"-Elizabeth Haydon
