The Raven Scholar
ByPublisher Description
“A labyrinth of a book—vast and intricate, full of fiendish twists and clever traps—with a deeply human heart at its center. It's thrilling, romantic, often tragic, and always funny; I'm obsessed.” —Alix E. Harrow, New York Times bestselling author of Starling House
The Raven Scholar is a masterfully woven tale of imperial intrigue from an electrifying new voice in epic fantasy—in a stunning edition featuring French flaps and silver foiled cover effects!
Let us fly now to the empire of Orrun, where after twenty-four years of peace, the reign of Bersun the Brusque has come to an end. In the dizzying heat of midsummer, seven exceptional warriors, thinkers, strategists compete to replace him.
When one of them is murdered, it falls to Neema Kraa, the emperor’s brilliant, idiosyncratic High Scholar, to find the killer and fight for the throne. Neema believes she is alone. But we are here to help; all she has to do is let us in.
If she succeeds, we will win an empire. If she fails, death awaits her. But we won’t let that happen.
We are the Raven, and we are magnificent.

★ "Fiendishly charming and clever, this is a book you absolutely must devour." —Tasha Suri, World Fantasy Award-winning author of The Jasmine Throne
★ "The Raven Scholar is as clever as its namesake—each beloved character, each twist and each turn, is a shiny new gift. It is magnificent." —C. L. Clark, author of The Unbroken
★ "Epic fantasy at its finest—fiendish political intrigue, the ultimate trial for the throne and a shocking crime at the center. Simply glorious!" —Georgia Summers, author of The City of Stardust
★ "Engrossing and unputdownable...my favorite read of the year. A conflagration of court intrigue, religious folktale, and characters with deliciously murky motivations, The Raven Scholar is a pure delight." —Bethany Jacobs, Philip K. Dick Award-winning author of These Burning Stars

“In the beginning i wasnt sure about this book or where we were headed.... and let me just say by the end I still dont know but in the best way possible! WHAT A ROLLERCOASTER!! The betrayals and plot, oh my. So many faces being worn i think i have to keep a list. This book is definitely outside my comfort zone but looking forward to the sequel, im sure will be another rollercoaster ride full of intrigue and DECEIT”
