White Raven

The Messengers of the Realm Trilogy, Book 1

By: Stacey Marie Brown

From the USA Today bestselling author of Savage Lands comes a sweeping new fantasy of secrets, betrayal, and the quest to unite a fractured realm.

In Silvervale, Wren—the White Raven, foretold to be born with the power to bring unity to divided kingdoms—has lived a life of privilege, kept sheltered by her paranoid father, the king. But on the night of her betrothal, her world shatters when northern infiltrators murder her lady-in-waiting and drag her into captivity.

Her captor, Onyx of the Night Realm, has waited months to seize her. Cold, ruthless, and burning with vengeance, he expects to hate the spoiled White Raven. Instead, he finds her defiant, clever, and maddeningly impossible to break. Killing her would be easy. But she is vital to a much bigger plan.

That plan belongs to Gavric Helvig, the enigmatic king of Ravenshadow—collector of beautiful things, lover of violence, and willing to do anything to claim Wren’s power. Under the new moon, he prepares a ritual to bind her to him forever … until enemies strike, and the White Raven’s fate takes an even more perilous turn.
