Deal Ends: Tue 25th August

"Great fantasy that deserves recognition" - Reedsy Discovery.On the edge of war, three soldiers uncover something their kingdom was never meant to remember.Leonard has trained his whole life to earn his place in the Ravenblood Pact, the only family an orphan boy has ever known. Beside him stands Saran, fighting to protect what she’s made of herself. Watching over them both is Darum, a scarred veteran who returned from the Karthian war carrying wounds he’s never named.When a border patrol turns up bone-laced raiders and an ancient relic that should not exist, the trio pulls a thread nobody wanted pulled. What they drag into the light reaches back centuries, into the founding of their kingdom, the doctrine of its mages, and the hidden rot already moving through the Pact itself.But the deeper they dig, the more the kingdom itself seems determined to bury them beside its secrets.Ravenblood: Shadows in the Stone is the first book of a duology, and delivers a complete, character-driven arc.
