Raven's Cry (Orphans Book 1)

The gods are not silent. They are watching. And they are hungry.At the edge of apocalypse, four strangers discover they are something more than human — and something less than safe. A drifter built of earth and thunder. A scholar with ash-black wings. A sinful heir with venom in his veins. A witch the Dark Mother calls daughter. They did not choose each other. The Outer Gods chose for them. Now the only question is whether four broken people can become something powerful enough to matter before the Great War swallows everything they love.Set in a gritty urban world where Indigenous myth runs beneath the city's skin and Hellenic blood-oaths still bind, Raven's Cry is cosmic horror with a found-family heart. Ancient terrors, baroque shadows, and the brutal truth that power always extracts its price.For readers of Neverwhere by Neil Gaiman and The Dresden Files who want their urban fantasy darker, stranger, and harder to put down. Readers' Favorite Gold Medal, YA Urban Fantasy 2025.Begin the Orphans saga with Raven's Cry. The reckoning deepens in Serpent's Whisper. Read more
