More than a century after John Wesley Powelllaunched his boat on the Green River, Ellen Meloy spent eight years of seasonal floats through Utah's Desolation Canyon with her husband, a federal river ranger. She came to know the history and natural history of this place well enough to call it home, and has recorded her observations in a book that is as wide-ranging as the river and as wild as the wilderness through which it runs.

After defeating his brother Ramael at Aemon's Stand and saving the Exiled Kindred from destruction, the former Prince of Ravens, now known simply as Raven, finds himself forced into the life of an Exile. As winter comes, closing off the Kindred from the newly conquered city of Roarke, he follows his friends Leah and Tomaz into the lands of the Kindred, where he begins a new life, safe from the threats of the Empire, and forever relieved of the responsibility of leadership.But the other Children of the Empress, his brothers and sisters, have not been idle, and soon his new world comes crashing down around him as the Empire takes revenge for the life of Ramael, stripping the Kindred of all defense, leaving them teetering once more on the edge of annihilation. Raven soon finds himself faced with a choice: does he once more run for his life, leaving Leah, Tomaz, and the other Kindred behind, or does he become the prophetic Prince of the Veil, and fight back against the very Empire and Mother he knows to be invincible?

For the Prince of Ravens is the prophesied Lord of Death, and on his shoulders rests the fate of the Empire

For millennia, we have tried to explain ourselves using the raven as a symbol. It occupies a unique place in British history and has left an indelible mark on our cultural landscape. The raven's hulking black shape has come to represent many things: death, all-seeing power, the underworld, and a wildness that remains deep within us. Legend has it that the fate of the nation rests upon the raven, and should the resident birds ever leave the Tower of London then the entire kingdom will fall. While so much of our wildlife is vanishing, ravens are returning to their former habitats after centuries of exile, moving back from their outposts at the very edge of the country, to the city streets from which they once scavenged the bodies of the dead. In A Shadow Above, Joe Shute follows ravens across their new hunting grounds, examining our complicated and challenging relationship with these birds. He meets people who live alongside the raven in conflict and peace, unpicks their fierce intelligence, and ponders what the raven's successful return might come to symbolise for humans in the dark times we now inhabit.

Enjoy this new romantic historical fantasy series from RITA® Award nominated author M.J. Scott. To save her new life, she needs the man who destroyed her old one... Chloe de Montesse never thought she’d return from exile. Now she has a chance to reclaim the life she fled after her husband was executed for treason. But coming home again isn’t as simple as it sounds. Her magic is rusty, her family want her to wrap her in cotton wool, and Illvyan society views her as a scandal waiting to happen. Worse, fate keeps throwing her into the path of the man who ruined her life. Lucien de Roche’s magic bares the truth for all to see. He’s used it to serve the empire, but there’s one secret he’s always kept hidden. The fact that he fell in love with his best friend’s wife. And that he’s never quite fallen out again. Now Chloe is back and it’s no secret at all that she loathes him for his part in her husband’s death. A sensible man would forget her…but he’s tired of being sensible. And determined to keep her safe. When a mission from the emperor takes them both into the wildest heart of the empire, to a country where power and loyalties collide, and old plots simmer back to life, Chloe finds herself dragged back into the past she wants to leave behind. And her only way out might be Lucien. The man she thinks she can never trust. The man she wants to hate. Or hates to want… The Exile’s Curse is the first book in the Daughter of Ravens series, a new romantic gaslamp fantasy series from RITA® Award nominated author M.J. Scott, set in the same world as the Four Arts series. This series has old friends turned enemies (and then enemies to lovers), a heroine looking for a second chance, a smitten hero, political intrigue, royal witches, inconvenient marriages, sexy times and more.
