________________________________________
They are Morrigan’s sons—born of shadow and storm, shaped by magic, and bound by fate.
The Raven-Goddess granted each of her nine sons two sacred gifts: the power to shift between raven and man—and the unmistakable pull toward their soulmates. But even the blessings of a goddess cannot shield them from the trials of love... or war.
In a world brimming with ancient magic and treacherous alliances, these demi-god brothers must fight not only for the hearts of those they are destined to love, but for the very survival of their realm. When a cunning family of mages sets their sights on the ravens’ power, the battle turns deadly—and each brother will face an impossible choice: sacrifice their heart, or risk everything.
Lyrical, sensual, and steeped in myth, Ravenbirn: Book One of the Raven Blood series, is a sweeping romantasy of soul-deep love, divine legacy, and the fierce power of destiny.

Ravenborn hooked me right from the first chapter. The world-building is rich and atmospheric, with just the right mix of magic, mystery, and darkness. The characters are complex and layered, and I loved watching their choices shape the story in unexpected ways. It’s the kind of book that keeps you up late because you need to know what happens next. Perfect for readers who enjoy fantasy with a gothic edge and plenty of heart.

A really amazing re-release with a new title and cover to fit a new trilogy. Bird shifters, a fun plot and enchanting characters come to life in Ravenborn.
Two gifts were given to the sons of the Battle Queen Morrigan: To be able to shift between their raven and human forms and, the unmistakable pull towards the mate of their hearts.
Ravenborn is book 1 in the Blood of the Raven series. Steeped in Irish mythology, we sweep across Eire following of the Morrigan's sons in a grouping of sexy short stories told from multiple POVs. We watch the characters navigate the pull of their hearts, while fighting against forces that would destroy them all. All the stories unite in a overarching plotline of good versus destruction.
A foolish mistake finds the youngest a captive of a beautiful but dangerous witch. As his world unravels, he finds what he never thought he could.
The King of the Ravens finds danger and a plot to kill all the Ravenborn just as he finds the woman meant to be the beat of his heart.
The lone surviving twin, who has lost the best part of himself, but found the missing piece of his heart in a handsome charioteer.
The Ice Raven and the wild fae, destined for each other and a tragic end.
Each story is fast paced, filled with passion and dark twists.
Highly recommend for those that love mythology, dark fantasy and spicy romance.

A fast paced romance. For such a short length book there is not a lot of tension or build up. It is a fabulous book to read for fun in moments of downtime. It's a lead into a series and I hope that more fun stories are coming. To me, ravens are a fall bird so it's the season to read about magic and shifters and love.
