The Grave Raven

There are two kinds of sorcerers—the exceptional, and the dead.

Kate Finch isn’t a frightened young apprentice anymore, helpless in the face of the demons drawn inexorably to her. When her desire to keep a risky promise pulls her deeper into the colony’s power struggles, political intrigues, and the shadowy realm of displaced magic known as the Demonmere, Finch is plunged into a harrowing race to unlock the secrets left by the witches who perished eighty years earlier. 

Her loyalty is put to the ultimate test when she discovers that her master’s experiments appear to be on a collision course with the unseen powers of Salem, a reckoning that could unleash a devastating tide of the infernal capable of bringing ruin to all.

The Grave Raven is the second volume in The Books of Conjury, a sweeping YA fantasy set in a meticulously rendered, magic-riddled 18th Century Boston.

If you love vivid characters with emotional depths, engaging and detailed depictions of magic, and a gripping plot that weaves together flintlock magic, political intrigues, and the terrifying presence of the infernal, you’ll love this second installment of Kevan Dale’s spectacular trilogy.
