Phew! Where do I even begin with A Thousand Burning Ravens?
The world-building? Absolutely brilliant. The tension? Had me biting my nails the entire time. From the very first page to the last, this book had me hooked β€” completely addictive and impossible to put down.

At the heart of the story is newly widowed Queen Myla Alerys, burdened by a haunting prophecy and devastating secrets β€” including a hidden pregnancy. Thrust into a role of leadership she never wanted, she must navigate treacherous alliances and join forces with unlikely allies.

Kier Smelcer masterfully weaves themes of female rage, found family, and second-chance romance into a gripping tale that will leave you breathless. The intensity of the emotions, the complexity of the characters, and the high-stakes plot make this an unforgettable read. Trust me β€” you’ll be up all night because once you start, you won’t want to stop.

If you love epic fantasy with raw emotions and powerful storytelling, A Thousand Burning Ravens is a must-read!
