"A labyrinth of a book -- vast and intricate, full of fiendish twists and clever traps -- with a deeply human heart at its center. It's thrilling, romantic, often tragic, and always funny; I'm obsessed." -- Alix E. Harrow, New York Times bestselling author of Starling House

The Raven Scholar is a masterfully woven tale of imperial intrigue from an electrifying new voice in epic fantasy.

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.

"Sharply written and intricately plotted. A masterclass in storytelling!" -- Ann Leckie, Hugo Award-winning author of Ancillary Justice

"Fiendishly charming and clever, this is a book you absolutely must devour." -- Tasha Suri, World Fantasy Award-winning author of The Jasmine Throne

"The Raven Scholar is as clever as its namesake -- each beloved character, each twist and each turn, is a shiny new gift. It is magnificent." -- C. L. Clark, author of The Unbroken
