Exile (The Legend of the White Raven) (Volume 1)

In the immortal lands of Willov, The Prophecy of Abolinea and her disciples dictates the fate of every kingdom. Varlorginar has fallen and so too will Thrnv, unless there is more to the words of The Prophecy than the legends relate. The kings of Thrnv believe the mark of the White Raven will herald the end of their family’s reign, thus they take every measure to protect their power. Every newborn undergoes a thorough search for the dreaded symbol; for 4072 years the kings have slept well, knowing their kingdom is safe. When the mark appears on the king’s son, however, the future of Thrnv rests on the decision of a father required by law to kill his son. Cyneric sets Thrnv upon an unmarked path when he spares his son’s life. In Unlev, the heirs of Varlorginar flourish despite Thrnv’s ruthless Treaty. Few know the truth of their ancestry, just as few in Thrnv know the truth of their kingdom’s foundation. When the White Raven leaves his homeland to attend a council, he sets in motion a chain of events that appears to lead to The Prophecy’s completion. However, not every effect comes from the obvious cause; something—or someone—else has put Thrnv’s souls to sleep. In exile, the White Raven begins a journey to discover the truth that will either fulfil The Prophecy or see it shattered like the hull of the Ventus in the es-Sehlk…
