Damiano is a novel in which the lute-playing alchemist Damiano goes on a quest to bring peace to his war-torn home town.[2]
Dave Langford reviewed Damiano for White Dwarf #66, and stated that "MacAvoy has a neat touch with small magics and period detail, and writes with charm - which could be a problem for her if, as some reviewers of the sequels have suggested, it slips into saccharine and disneyfication. I hope not."[2]
Colin Greenland reviewed Damiano for Imagine magazine, and stated that "a mild, reflective kind of fantasy, disrupted by the incidents of extreme violence the reluctant wizard has to cause and confront. R A MacAvoy's lucid, attractive writing has won her much popularity in American. It would be good to see her do well here too."[3]
