About this listen

For Ryhalt Galharrow, working for Crowfoot as a Blackwing captain is about as bad as it gets - especially when his orders are garbled, or incoherent, or impossible to carry out.

The Deep Kings are hurling fire from the sky, a ghost in the light known only as the Bright Lady had begun to manifest in visions across the city, and the cult that worship her grasp for power while the city burns around them.

Galharrow may not be able to do much about the cult - or about strange orders from the Nameless - but when Crowfoot's arcane vault is breached and an object of terrible power is stolen, he's propelled into a race against time to recover it. Only to do that, he needs answers, and finding them means travelling into nightmare: to the very heart of the Misery.

Ravencry is the second book in the Raven's Mark series, continuing the story that began with the award winning epic fantasy Blackwing.

Another great performance by Colin Mace helps take this story to greater heights (ascending the grandspire even)

I highly recommend this for anyone looking for an intense adventure that is both character and setting lead. As someone who loves different fantasy genres, I appreciate how Ed mixes low-magic, grimdark as well as high-magic.
Ravencry further develops the characters of Galharrow, Nenn and many others. Given the intense events that occur I appreciated the exploration of character motivations, from the nuanced moments, expanding on what we already knew, to the steadfastness of various cast members showing character consistency.
Ed does a great job of expanding on the machinations of the Nameless and the Dead Kings, as well as taking the reader on a deeper exploration of the impossible Misery. I felt this was achieved by the brilliant foreshadowing established in Blackwing, and crucially without resorting to info-dumping.
I thoroughly enjoyed this story. The Raven Mark series started impressively, the difficult middle book is outstanding, better than the first. I now have the joy of waiting for the next book and speculating where the series will go next.
