From Little Stack
In the Empire, a new ruler is chosen every 24 years through a grand competition in which eight challengers are pitted against each other. And when one of those eight turn up dead, it’s up to the emperor’s brilliant yet socially awkward High Scholar Neema Kraa to investigate and solve the mystifying crime. It’s a murder mystery that any Knives Out fan would love, all surrounded by the grand stakes of the tournament and told in a beautifully snarky and often humorous voice.
The Raven Scholar is a masterfully woven tale of imperial intrigue from an electrifying new voice in epic fantasy—in a stunning edition featuring French flaps and silver foiled cover effects!
Let us fly now to the empire of Orrun, where after twenty-four years of peace, the reign of Bersun the Brusque has come to an end. In the dizzying heat of midsummer, seven exceptional warriors, thinkers, strategists compete to replace him.
When one of them is murdered, it falls to Neema Kraa, the emperor's brilliant, idiosyncratic High Scholar, to find the killer and fight for the throne. Neema believes she is alone. But we are here to help; all she has to do is let us in. If she succeeds, we will win an empire. If she fails, death awaits her. But we won't let that happen.
We are the Raven, and we are magnificent.
