The Black Raven

At the end of the civil wars, Prince Maryn sees peace finally within his grasp. But powerful sorcery threatens to tear his life, his reign and his troubled kingdom apart. Only Lilli, a young apprentice, can see the horrifying power of the curse that could visit disaster on them all. Yet what use is untried magic in the fight to save her beloved Prince?

Centuries later this ancient evil rises again, bringing the prospect of an endless war that will destroy Deverry for ever. Deadly armies, led by the savage goddess Alshadra are gathering in the lonely Northlands. Directly in their path lies the peaceful city of Cerr Cawnen...

In a riveting dual narrative that deftly weaves past and present histories of Deverry together, Kerr shows her unique skill at creating exceptional characters caught up in exceptional times in a world at once fantastic but also grittily realistic and moving.
