Soren’s treachery having triggered Bran’s campaign of revenge, it’s the end of a glory none can prevent. Whilst securing the Throne, rival factions threaten to tear the empire apart, before the mourning realm even has the chance to.
A new hero emerges from the ashes of destruction though, a mysterious, courageous young boy named Raven, who claims to be an imperial heir. Raised and trained in exile, his knowledge, skills, confidence and power could salvage what still remains of the realm.
However, although a formidable foil for Bran, there are those who doubt Raven’s identity. Old issues resurface, suspicions threaten the newly established peace and whilst attempting to strengthen the empire, by removing traitors, the Throne is deprived of one of its strongest guardians. And with the rest divided over Raven’s legitimacy, the Raven God makes his move, to damn the imperial family once and for all.
Born in Shrewsbury, died who knows where, I currently bathe in that beautiful, cultural, historical Shropshire air!
I seek to become a full-time author to fulfil a life-long dream. I can’t remember a time when I didn’t write and I can’t imagine a time when I won’t. Having lived without electricity for a time, necessity sparked my love affair with the written word, as it was easier to write than read in poor light. No one else had penned the story I wanted to read and my characters yearned to live and breathe, so I had to bring them to life. Now I write for the experience and the pleasure, for it is my passion, my religion, my parent, my councillor: my identity. I write because I don’t know how not to! My head is full of stories all jostling for position and it’s never a matter of which book to write next, for I work on concurrent projects. I primarily write fantasy, but have written poetry, science fiction, historical fiction and horror.
