The Scorpion & The Raven

By Francois van Eeden

For half a century, the Daravani People have fought for freedom from the slaver empire of Centralica. Leading their struggle is the Raven Lord-a feared military commander and the lone survivor of Centralica's genocide against the Darklings.
After decades of total war, he is forced into a fragile truce, securing peace through marriage to a Centralican aristocrat.

Until she dies mysteriously, reigniting the war.
In the chaos, four lives are pulled into a tempest of greed, hatred, and vengeance:

Seleth, a young Centralican commander, leads the slave army of Resral on a suicidal campaign.
Enyalla, heir to the Esgrandi throne, finds her imperial visit to Daravan taking a treacherous turn.
Jack, an infamous Daravani warrior, is forced to face a vengeful spirit from his past.
Magne, a boy struggling to survive as a child soldier in a merciless war.

As nations collide and dormant grudges erupt anew, they must navigate an unforgiving world where survival is the only victory, and peace is a long-forgotten dream.
