Rush of Ravens
By Abigail Brier
Warrior. Shield-maiden. Cursed.
Experience the fantasy world of Arresia where the forces of Light and darkness collide. Rush of Ravens, the first book in the Til Kingdom Come series by Abigail Brier, envelops readers with a gripping tale of heartache and revenge.
In a world where the king kills those gifted by the Light to steal their power, Ravenna wants nothing more than to fight with the warriors of Vestele against the evil Despiri king. But Ravenna's mother holds her fate in her hands, wishing for Ravenna to marry and avoid the dangers of war. Ravenna runs the Gauntlet to prove herself to her mother, but when she returns home with the bloodstone prize in hand, she sets off a chain of events that are sure to alter her future. She finds herself as shield-maiden, and she soon becomes a curse to her own people. But she will do anything to protect them—including the one thing she swore she would never do.
With adventure and page-turning suspense, this enchanting, multi-pov debut dives into the darkness and explores themes of pride and downfall, and heartache and revenge as the characters hold onto a single, fraying thread of hope.
“Red. She loathed the color. The cursed hue of blood and the beginning of every sorrow. Each child came into the world enveloped in it. The sorrows of life and death, already staking its claim on a new body. A bath would wash the skin clean of the color, but it would not change the fact that one was made from it, filled with it, and could not live without it. The body’s need for blood was infinite. Blood coursed through the veins. Blood drained from skin at the slightest injury. Blood often poured from a body in death. One could only lose so much blood before they were dying, and she had lost too much.”
