PRAISE FOR SANCTA FEMINA

"A chilling prologue and a dramatic, planet-bursting first few scenes catapult us into an ambitious space opera with a strong gothic flavor, making Sancta Femina a compelling read for fans of both genres!" 

"Sancta Femina is one of the most thought-provoking and imaginative stories I’ve read in a long time. Although set in a sci-fi future, the book examines weighty themes that resonate today: the wavering line between faith and madness, personal agency, the destructiveness of religious fanaticism, and the manipulation of information for political gain."

"Kathryn has constructed a world neatly poised between the fantastical and the scientific. The novel’s gothic elements are captivating as Hella finds herself a guest-cum-prisoner in the castle of the religious zealot Abramovich. All the expected elements of gothic literature are present and handled with finesse: dark plans and darker oubliettes; dreams, a ghost child and an animal familiar; and, of course, secrets and lies a-plenty."
