This Omnibus edition of The Children of Corvus Series contains three complete novels and a bonus short story.

"A Fierce & Driven Paranormal Fantasy Read!" - JB Richards

Travel through the Great Shield, and discover the world of the Children of Corvus.

Protected by the Great Shield, the tribe lives united in their love and reverence for Corvus, the god of beasts, who had once bestowed a sacred gift—the ability to transform into the divine entity known as Bestiae—upon his descendants. Now, vestiges of this diluted power trigger a curse the Sacred Order calls the blood madness. Corvus's Sacred Law proclaims that to guarantee the blood madness will not be passed to future generations, every male with the curse must be executed.

The award-winning contemporary fantasy trilogy about a tribe of shapeshifters in northern Maine, USA.

Novels:

BLACKBIRD (Book One)

Under the protection of the Great Shield in northern Maine, Alena is set to inherit the title of Guardian of the Dead until she meets a handsome, tormented stranger at the solstice feast. When Michael is accused of murdering the Captain of the Guard, Alena must decide whether to obey her heart or the sacred laws of her shapeshifter tribe.

MERULA (Book Two)

On a mission to rescue J. Lance Sr., Cadie Maxwell guides the outsiders through the Great Shield, a powerful force field that protects her homeland. But instead of the missing novelist, Cadie finds her childhood friend, Samuel delirious and showing signs of suffering from the blood madness. Can she save Samuel's life, and get her friends safely back to Ashland while exposing the corruption within the priesthood, forswearing her holy vows, and uncovering the truth about her gods and her tribe?

CORVUS (Book Three)

A witch and a son of Corvus must combine their powers to defeat the witch goddess and save the souls of the Merulas trapped in the Shadowlands. To save his father's spirit and protect his mate, Samuel must learn to embrace his power and his duty to his tribe as the Merula. He must also learn to accept Bestiae—the god-like part of himself he can't control. Can Catriona be the bridge that ends the feud between the children of Corvus and the daughters of Venefica? Or will her presence in Blackwater Hills irreparably damage the Balance and provoke the wrath of the Raven of Otherworld?

Short Story:

CADIE AND SAMUEL: IN THE INTERIM

Samuel is aware of the many obstacles—all the reasons that make acting on his feelings for Cadie a very bad idea. The restless beast that lives inside him is not the least of those reasons. When he is near her, however, he can't seem to control his lust for the beautiful Guardian. Will they ever be able to overcome the weight of their pasts? Or will duty and the expectations of the tribe be what ultimately tears them apart?
