Book Description

In the war-torn kingdom of Lordach, Ezer has spent two years imprisoned as the Ravenminder of Rendegard, haunted by dreams of her own death and marked by strange, otherworldly magic. When a Sacred Knight recruits her to fight the Acolyte, she discovers a rare affinity with birds and is tasked with helping the Prince tame a raphon—half raven, half panther. As Ezer’s bond with the beast deepens, so too does her struggle between loyalty, love, and the shadows of destiny, forcing her to question whether the darkness has been her fate all along.

Favorite Quote:

“I cannot live my life, Ezer, not knowing what it was like to have you. I’ll pay the penance. I’ll pay it a thousand times, if it means one night together .”

Y’all I devoured this book in less than 2 days. The yearning, banter, and tension were top tier. The world building was phenomenal and there’s so much action and tons mythical creatures, more than just our ravens and raphons.

We experience betrayal, plot twists, a slow burn and then get sucker punched with a cliffhanger….this book had everything!! 

And our girl falls for twin princes, one golden retriever-ish and one dark and brooding. Which one will she choose?

I can’t contain my excitement for this book. I have a feeling it’s gonna blow up!

Also, I need book 2 immediately…that ending, whoa.

Thank you so much, Lindsay, for the ARC to review!

Released October 23, 2025.
