Flight of the Raven by Morgan L. Busse

Exciting Times!

Lady Selene has just married Lord Damien, but it was not a love match.  Instead, it was done out of desperation to save her life.  She yearns to know Damien’s real feelings towards her.  Kindness and fairness abound in her new husband’s life, as well as, in the treatment of his people.  It is very different from the cold House of Ravenwood where she grew up.

The Great Light is often spoken of in her new home.  Damien actively believes in and worships the Light, but Selene is unsure.  Her dreams are haunted by the Dark Lady, causing her to be exhausted and tense.  Shockingly, things she sees in her dreams begin taking place in real life.  She urgently wants to bring it to an end, and spends lots of time pouring over ancient texts hoping to find an answer.

Unknown to Selene, her sister, Lady Amara, pursues Selene to rain destruction on Damien and his kingdom.  Spurred on by their mother’s order not to return unless she is successful, and coupled with Amara’s jealousy of Selene, she will go to any lengths to be victorious.

Damien and Selene gently begin to get to know each other, talk of their amazing gifts, and consider what all their future’s may be.  At the same time, storm clouds of war are gathering, and a clash among the houses seems destined to take place with the spring thaw.

There is much good versus evil in this tale.  Selene is torn between what she has known her entire existence, and the life she is exposed to in her new home.  Excitement in this story builds, leaving the reader on the edge of their seat wanting to know what happens next.  Flight of the Raven is the second story in the Ravenwood Saga, and has enough backstory to be read on its own–but the tale would be much richer if the first book is read.  I highly recommend this 5-star book to all who enjoy fantasy and adventure with a Christian point of view.
