Synopsis
Flight of the Raven follows Aidan, heir to the Lion Throne of Homana and grandson of Niall, who receives a summons from a mysterious being known as the Hunter and sets out on a quest to recover a set of mystical golden links tied to the prophecy that has shaped his family for generations. As Aidan pursues this divine calling, he also finds himself confronting Lochiel, a formidable Ihlini sorcerer who represents the gravest threat yet to the future of the Cheysuli race. Aidan's journey tests both his resolve to fulfill the destiny laid out for him and his ability to withstand an enemy determined to see the prophecy fail.
