Raven of the Inner Palace (Novel) Vol. 06

DESTINY AWAKENS THE SOUL

Breaking the barriers that confined the Raven Consort to the inner palace had a number of consequences. Aside from the physical destruction it caused, Ishiha is missing, Jusetsu’s ancestry is now public knowledge, and the Raven now inhabits Jusetsu’s body. The Raven Consort’s displaced soul has been set adrift, and it can only be called back by a blood relative. Can Koshun find one, or will Jusetsu be doomed to wander forever?

Series Overview: Deep within the palace’s walls lives the secluded and mysterious Raven Consort. Some say she is an old woman, while others claim she is young and beautiful. What all stories agree upon is that she has the power to exorcise spirits, lay fatal curses, and find lost objects—for a price. When the young emperor arrives at the door of the Raven Consort seeking magical assistance, his request could shake up the palace…or perhaps even the entire kingdom.
