Raven's Blood
Gives her an advantage . . . and makes her a target.
A magically gifted dancer in a world where many people have heightened talents, fugitive Raven has too often found herself in the wrong place at the wrong time. With the country threatened by war, a corrupt prince sees that Raven's intelligence, cunning, and strength make her the ideal spy for a dangerous mission.
Raven is blackmailed into traveling into a hostile country posing as frivolous aristocrat. By her side is the Captain of Crown Intelligence, Petyr Wolfsbane, a rigid man, playing the role of Count to her Countess. Together they embark to charm the enemy court and win the favour of the royal family. But they soon discover that there are more dangers at court than expected. Familiar faces could betray everything, and the threat of torture and death are ever present.
Both Raven and Petyr suffer through battles and the fatigue of living a lie. They sacrifice themselves for one another throughout their journey, bearing the scars that come with love and war.
