Raven Son

Young Voran is the envy of all Vasyllia. He is a favorite of the king, the military establishment, even the king's daughter. But Voran is strangely restless. Every evening, he hears a melody so beautiful that he forgets everything but the music. Every night he searches for the singer, but every night he fails. One night he finds her – a Syrin, a paradise bird with the face of a queen, who sings of wonders not of this world. But she is not the only legend to come to life out of the old tales. She warns Voran of the return of the Raven, an ancient soul-reaver with an insatiable grudge against Vasyllia. As invaders ravage Vasyllia and plague sweeps through the countryside, Voran tries to warn Vasyllia of the true danger – the Raven's return – but Voran alone sees the Syrin, and there are few who believe him. To save his love and his country, Voran must leave it behind to find a way to destroy the Raven forever, but first he will have to overcome a more insidious danger – the darkness within himself. Raven Son is a fantasy based on Russian fairy tales and myths
