When Edric becomes the chief suspect in a murder, he and a young noblewoman join forces in order to bring the real killer to account. But they soon realise the murder was only one strand in a tangled web of mortal and immortal scheming.Hunted by the law, and pursued by vengeful servants of half-forgotten gods, Edric soon learns that there's more at stake than clearing his name. Will he discover the truth before the Shadow of the Raven descends upon the world, and the war between the living and the dead begins?
