Ravenminder - Lindsay Cummings

In the war-ravaged kingdom of Lordach, Ezer—an orphan marked by strange magic and chained as the Ravenminder of Rendegard—serves out her uncle’s debts while haunted by visions of her own death. When a Sacred Knight recruits her to fight the dark sorcerer known as the Acolyte, her rare connection with birds earns her a new task: helping the prince tame a deadly raphon, a half-raven, half-panther creature tied to the enemy. As Ezer’s bond with the beast deepens, she’s caught between loyalty, love, and the dark pull of her mysterious powers—forcing her to confront whether her fate has always been bound to the shadows.
