Berlin in autumn: Christine Starlight lives in an artists' colony with her lover Jude, whose patience and beauty have eased her battle with chronic pain. But Christine begins to be haunted by childhood recollections of a little girl's disappearance and the flapping of a blackbird's wings. Then her world is rocked by the return of a childhood friend... Mayfridh rules over a land where a wolf is the queen's counsellor, fate turns on the fall of an autumn leaf and mortals feel no pain. As Christine becomes addicted to Mayfridh's world, so Mayfridh grows addicted to Christine's, falling dangerously in love with Jude.

"This has been on my TBR list for a long while but I finally grabbed it while redeeming some gift cards at Borders. I tore through this book in under two days; I could barely put it down. I have to say that this is the best urban fantasy I've read in a long time. It ranks right up there with War for the Oaks by Emma Bull. For starters, it takes place in Berlin, rather than the usual New York, London, or other big city in the English speaking (excepting Australia, New Zealand, Scotland, and Ireland) world. Wilkins breathed new life into one of my favorite genres and I will definitely be picking up more by her. I can see she wrote another that takes place in Norway. I look forward to reading it."

    " I really enjoyed The Autumn Castle. Kim Wilkins' writing style kept things interesting. It was original and dark. I think my favorite thing about the book is that I read it so fast. It usually takes me a while to get through 500 pages but I didn't want to put it down. "

    " This is the second Kim Wilkins book I've read and I really enjoyed it. It's dark I didn't like any of the major character's although I ended up rooting for Christine towards the end. "

    " This has to be one of my favourite books. I bought it for the terrible reason that I liked the cover and I am so glad that I did. It introduced me to a whole new genre of fiction. I could not stop reading this book it is addictive. "

    " I read Veil of Gold, which made me want to read more by this author. I was not disappointed. Whatever silly genre this falls in, I don't care. I just love the mix of contemporary characters and fantasy, it works well. By the way, her titles are had to find!! "

    " Here's a gorgeously written tale of the intersection of the real world (specifically Berlin) with faerieland, beautiful and... well, not perilous. The peril here lies strongly in the real world only. Love and guilt, sadness and happiness... a haunting story with an absolutely perfect ending. "

    " I was dreading reading this book at first. As a major horror and Kim Wilkins fan, I knew that this book was more fantasy than horror but I was more than pleasantly surprised. A great lead character, nasty piece of work villain, along with the talking fox Maugrimm, this rattles along at a fair pace. "

    " I read this because I read and loved Giants of the Frost, and while I didn't like this quite as much, I still really enjoyed it. The ending was a little predictable, but I didn't think that took away from the book as a while. "

    " This is a beautiful story. It's sad, exciting and has a very romantic, wistful atmosphere. It's a great read for people who love the Sevenwaters Books by Juliet Marillier or the Tamír Triad by Lynn Flewelling, for it's got that same easy style and magical feeling to it. "
