From an electrifying new voice in epic fantasy comes The Raven Scholar, a masterfully woven and playfully inventive tale of imperial intrigue, cutthroat competition, and one scholar’s quest to uncover the truth.

Let us fly now to the empire of Orrun, where after twenty-four years of peace, Bersun the Brusque must end his reign. In the dizzying heat of mid-summer, seven contenders compete to replace him. They are exceptional warriors, thinkers, strategists—the best of the best.

Then one of them is murdered.

It falls to Neema Kraa, the emperor’s brilliant, idiosyncratic High Scholar, to find the killer before the trials end. To do so, she must untangle a web of deadly secrets that stretches back generations, all while competing against six warriors with their own dark histories and fierce ambitions. Neema believes she is alone. But we are here to help; all she has to do is let us in.

If she succeeds, she will win the throne. If she fails, death awaits her. But we won’t let that happen.

We are the Raven, and we are magnificent.

At ten-years-old, the Heir of Jasad flees a massacre that takes her entire family.

At fifteen, she buries her first body.

At twenty, the clock is ticking on Sylvia's third attempt at a home. Nizahl's armies have laid waste to Jasad and banned magic across the four remaining kingdoms. Fortunately, Sylvia's magic is as good at playing dead as she is.

When the Nizahl Heir tracks a group of Jasadis to Sylvia’s village, the quiet life she's crafted unravels. Calculating and cold, Arin's tactical brilliance is surpassed only by his hatred for magic. After a mistake exposes Sylvia’s magic to Arin, he offers her an escape: compete as Nizahl’s Champion in the Alcalah tournament and win immunity from persecution. In exchange, Arin will use her as bait to draw out the Jasadis he’s hunting.

To win the deadly Alcalah, Sylvia must work with Arin to free her trapped magic, all while staying a step ahead of his efforts to uncover her identity. As the two grow closer, Sylvia is thrust into the world of cunning royals and double-dealing politics. The Jasadi groups escalate the fight to make Sylvia the face of their movement, and Sylvia realizes winning her freedom as Nizahl’s Champion means destroying any chance of reuniting Jasad under her banner.

The scorched kingdom is rising again, and Sylvia will have to choose between the life she's earned, and the one she left behind.

Jedes Jahr steht Blue Sargent neben ihrer hellseherisch begabten Mutter, während die Geister derer vorbeiziehen, die im kommenden Jahr sterben werden. Blue selbst sieht sie nie - bis zu diesem Jahr, als ein Junge aus der Dunkelheit auftaucht und sie anspricht.

Sein Name ist Gansey, und Blue findet bald heraus, dass er ein “Raven Boy” ist - ein reicher Schüler von Aglionby, der örtlichen Privatschule. Eigentlich hält Blue sich von Aglionby fern, denn Raven Boys bedeuten nichts als Ärger. Und Gansey ist nicht allein: Gemeinsam mit Adam, dem Stipendiaten, der sich über die Privilegien um ihn herum ärgert; Ronan, dessen Emotionen von Wut bis Verzweiflung reichen; und Noah, dem schweigsamen Beobachter, der vieles bemerkt, aber wenig sagt, ist er auf einer geheimen Queste.

Solange sie sich erinnern kann, wurde Blue gewarnt, dass sie den Tod ihrer wahren Liebe herbeiführen wird. Sie dachte nie, dass sie sich verlieben würde. Aber jetzt, als sie in die geheimnisvolle Welt der Raven Boys gerät, ist sie sich nicht mehr so sicher.
