This is an excellently paced narrative that focuses on interesting characters. It made me want to read more of the Angel Mountain Saga. The book is good value for money, and a cracking good read.”

Set in the rough, rugged country of Wales during the years of 1808-1809, Sacrifice is the seventh novel in the series. Mystery, intrigue, secrets, and lies are all bound into this stunning work of literary art. Brian John has a way of connecting readers to the characters’ emotions that thoroughly enhances the reading experience. For me, this was an alluring read that held my interest throughout."
Angela Simmons: Historical Novels Society
This novel reaches out and pulls you into Martha's small world..... beautifully written, it takes you on a journey which you will never forget.”
Jo Barnes: One Wales magazine
Martha Morgan becomes a very real person and the books are a compulsive read, with shades of Cordell and Cookson.”
Derek Rees: Western Telegraph
I fell in love with Mistress Martha Morgan very early on in the story. Not only is it an exciting read but also rich in historical detail, folklore and culture. The descriptive passages are beautifully written. I can't wait to read the rest of the series!”
Andrea Atkinson: Goodreads
It is a surprise that this book has been written by a man. I could not wait to read the next book in the Saga. It should come as no surprise that I read the first five books in the saga in under 3 weeks!”
Diana Vickers
Tears rolled down my face as the life of Martha Morgan came to an end and I felt a real sense of loss. All of the books have been amazing, enthralling, educational and inspirational. I congratulate you on such an achievement.”

This is an excellent book which recounts the further adventures of Mistress Martha Morgan of Plas Ingli -- who is now firmly established as one of the most interesting heroines in recent historical fiction."

I couldn't put it down. I started reading the Angel Mountain series on recommendation and have been living with Martha ever since.”
Reader from the USA
Another great, unputdownable read by Brian John. Old and new characters come to life in his thought provoking and clever sequel to the brilliant Angel Mountain stories."
Denise Strong
A modern Welsh literary triumph...It has a page-turning plot, packed with adventure, treason, murder and passion."
Welsh Books Council
If it does not become a best-seller, there is no justice in this world."
John Seymour, writer and broadcaster
Brian John's storytelling reaches a rich maturity. We are swept along in a gripping tale that often leaves you breathless."
Doris Goddard: Western Telegraph
The writing is vibrant and alive. For someone who had never written fiction before some of the erotic scenes -- not to mention a brilliantly crafted description of a miscarriage -- needed careful handling."
Phil Carradice: Writer's Forum
John, as always, has a magical feeling of place and his narrative is full of dynamism and perception."
Norma Penfold: Welsh Books Council
This book is filled with goodness; it is filled with caring, compassionate people. It has a message that basically the human species recognizes truth, justice, fairness and kindness. Martha dominates this book. Her mysticism, and meditations on the mountain, her joys and sadness perhaps reveal the fragility seldom perceived in the Martha Morgans of this present day world. It is a timeless and compelling tale."
Richard Cluroe: Welsh Books Council
The unique perspective which the author brings to his robust saga of Pembrokeshire country folk ..... manages to make even the most familiar aspects of the Rebecca tale seem fresh."
