Raven of the Inner Palace (Novel) Vol. 07
RESOLUTION OF THE RAVEN
Despite the Raven’s missing part being within Jusetsu’s grasp, the sea god isn’t about to make that easy for her. An underwater volcano eruption has made the waters around Je Island, where the black sword awaits, impassable. A clash between the ao god and the raven is in their near future, but will the mortal bystanders become collateral damage in this celestial showdown? Witness the stunning finale of this tale of dark magic and court intrigue.
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.
