The Raven and the Wolf

Tell the Wolves I am Home.
Trapped in a prison cell beneath the Black Tower, Salome holds on to the hope that her friends will rescue her before she is tortured and executed for the Gomorrians' pleasure. Having been reluctant in the past to step into her prophesied role of the Hunter, she is now determined to lead her army north to challenge Niabi and reclaim her homeland, but first she must survive captivity.
Crispin is desperate to get to Oakenshire to see Salome and join the amassing army. But his journey is delayed when he and the crew of the Shadow of Death are detained by the Borgians, the sworn enemy of the Pulauans. Knowing it's up to him to negotiate their release, the smooth-talking prince is left to deal with the conniving King of Borg.
Betrayed by those close to her and slipping into her past darkness, Niabi uses her growing magic and political prowess to purge her enemies from within her borders. As she prepares to finally face her siblings in the ultimate battle, one thing is certain: she will keep her crown, her throne, and her kingdom if it is the last thing she does.
Lives will be lost, trust will be broken, hope will be shattered. But only one will claim the White Throne.
