"Seventeen-year-old engineering genius Kiram Kir-Zaki is the first full-blooded Haldiim to attend the Cadeleonian Academy Sagrada, and he knows they only admitted him in hopes of winning the Crown Challenge scientific competition. The uptight Cadeleonians stick him with the only roommate he can't corrupt with his heathen ways: Javier Tornesal, cursed by the evil powers of the white hell. The two are instantly attracted, but they must resist and hide their romance as Javier protects Kiram and helps him train for the competition. Then Kiram's uncle Rafie and his husband, the mystic Alizadeh, reveal secrets that could tear the boys--and the country--apart. An intricate world, well-integrated social issues, believable sexual encounters, and an interesting mystery make this dense, languorous tale appealing for any fan of romantic fantasy." Publisher's Weekly
"When promising young mechanist Kiram Kir-Zaki becomes the first member of his people, the Haldiim, to attend the prestigious Sagrada Academy, he experiences the scorn of the haughty scions of the ruling Cadeleonians, who dominate the school. Despite cultural and religious differences, he befriends a pair of nobles who share his sense of alienation and comes to the attention of upperclassman Javier Torsenal, who has a reputation for mayhem after selling his soul to become the master of a force known as the white hell. The author of Wicked Gentlemen launches a two-volume tale of a young man who believes himself doomed and the stranger who may hold the key to his salvation. VERDICT Lushly detailed, with believable, fully developed characters, this fantasy with homoerotic overtones is reminiscent of Mercedes Lackey's Vanyel novels and should appeal to a similar readership." Library Journal
"From the very beginning, you’re thrown into the fantasy world and this never lets up. Immediately immersed into a complicated story and world so there is little to do but enjoy the ride. There is a large hanging ending, which I usually hate, but done so well here that it works. Readers will want to get book two, but there is a nice pause between the two books with a well chosen break point. I personally can’t wait for book two and the complete story is likely one to be unique, memorable, and compelling for fantasy fans. Those readers unfamiliar with such dense world building may be lost initially but the threads start to come together pretty quickly so stay with it, the story is absolutely worth the effort. This is a story you’ll want to read again and again." Reviews by Jessewave
"Hale has created a gripping, engaging and romantic tale of intrigue, machinery and magic." Astrid Amara, author of The Archer's Heart.
"There is something almost intoxicating about Ginn Hale's work. Her characters are unforgettable and her plots mesmerizing. The imagery in Lord of the White Hell blazes from the page with ferocious brightness." Josh Lanyon, author of Strange Fortune.
