Rate this book
The final battle for the fate of two realms begins.

Reopening the veil between Tirnanog and Castella once seemed like a solution, but now Valeria and Korben find themselves in a race against time to save those they love.

To have a fighting chance, Valeria and Korben must restore magic, but to do that, they must find the creator of The Eldrystone, an elusive goddess who seems little more than a forgotten fairytale.

Their search will lead them to a land of peril where they might lose more than they bargained for.

A fantasy romance featuring a damaged villain and the fierce princess who will shred his heart to pieces if he isn’t careful. Suitable for 18+.

I've been a big fan of this series and Ingrid did not disappoint. I still really love the characters. Jago has been a favorite but esmerelda surprised me a little with how much I liked her. The way she clapped back at calerin in the beginning of this book was cracking me up. The description of the city and the inn were just so amazing imagine living inside of a tree. Like tinkerbell. Thank you for a wonderful series

I was on the edge of my seat from the first page. I flew through and ate up every single word. Every single twist and turn and even had me wanting more. I am addicted to this series and it’s so different from what I normally read but the same at the same time. This was the fastest paced book I’ve read in a long time. 10/10 recommend!

Flight of the Raven is the emotionally charged conclusion to The Eldrystone Trilogy, delivering everything I hoped for! Ingrid Seymour ties together intricate plotlines, compelling character arcs, and high-stakes action in a finale that left me absolutely wrecked, in the best way possible.

The story thrusts us back into the chaos as Valeria and Korben cross the Veil into a world that no longer resembles the home Korben once knew. The magic is fading, the throne is occupied by a false queen, and the fate of Tirnanog, and their own survival, hangs in the balance. The tension never lets up, with pulse-pounding action sequences, shocking twists, and moments of raw emotion that kept me on edge.

Valeria’s growth throughout the series is phenomenal. She steps fully into her power here, proving time and again that she is not the same girl who first embarked on this journey. She’s fierce, determined, and heartbreakingly human. And Korben's transformation floored me. He’s no longer the enigmatic, brooding warrior from book one—he’s a man who has been broken, rebuilt, and willing to fight for more than just vengeance. The evolution of their relationship is beautifully handled, full of fiery chemistry, trust, and the weight of everything they’ve endured together.

Beyond the romance, the found-family dynamic in this book shines. Jago remains a standout, his unwavering loyalty and love for Valeria making him one of my favorite side characters. The world-building is stunning, painting Tirnanog in rich, immersive detail while weaving in its Spanish influences in a way that feels fresh and unique. The stakes are impossibly high, and just when you think you know what’s coming, Seymour delivers gut-wrenching surprises that hit like a punch to the chest.

And the ending was absolutely unforgettable. It left me in pieces, but it was the perfect, bittersweet conclusion to a trilogy that has cemented itself as one of my all-time favorites. If you love romantasy with immersive lore, gripping action, and characters that bury themselves in your heart, add The Eldrystone Trilogy to your TBR now.

What a phenomenal way to wrap up the Eldrystone Trilogy! Flight of the Raven picks up right where Echoes of the Raven left off, pulling us back into the action and delivering everything I could have hoped for in this final installment.

The characters are as compelling as ever, but somehow still manage to surprise and grow. Valeria shines, her struggles and triumphs in the fae realm making her even more lovable and strong. Korben’s development completely blew me away—he’s grown so much from the character we met in book one. Even the side characters bring depth and heart, adding tension and life to the story.

The world-building is next-level. Every location is described with vivid detail, making the world feel alive and dangerous. The magic system, while not overly flashy, is well thought out and adds layers of intrigue and importance to those who wield it.

The pacing was spot-on, keeping me hooked from start to finish. There wasn’t a single moment where I felt the story dragged or rushed. Seymour masterfully balanced action, character moments, and emotional stakes to create a story that kept me fully engaged.

This is a perfect finale to an incredible trilogy. I’ll be recommending it to everyone and can’t wait to reread it in the future. If you’re a fan of immersive fantasy with strong characters and gripping storytelling, don’t miss this series!

Flight of the Raven is the final book in Ingrid Seymour's The Eldrystone trilogy, and it was spectacular! It's by far my favorite book in the series. Throughout the series, Valeria has been steady. A spunky go-getter who is willing to go to great lengths to help others, and that hasn't changed. Val is brave and valiant, and I adore her. I loved her relationship with Jago. He was more than her cousin and best friend, he was her world. Jago was another one that has never wavered. He's been with Val every step of the way, supporting all her crazy. Jago is easily one of my favorite side characters.


Korben has been through an evolution. He went from bad guy to good guy, and I can't really figure out how, and I read every page. I have grown to like Korben. He feels like a totally different person, and in some ways, he is. I enjoy seeing this lighter side of him. I especially love how affectionate he is towards Val, it was super cute.


The plot was unpredictable with the best twists and turns. I mean, I was truly shocked. It was great. A lot was going on and the pacing was great. It always felt like things were happening, and then there would be an explosion of action like heists, chases, a breakout, and more. My nerves were on edge more than once.


Wow. This book was breathtakingly good. The last leg of this book was completely savage, and the twists damned near knocked the air from my lungs. I cried, y'all. Ingrid Seymour made me cry, but it was worth it. This book had a damn near-perfect ending. The Eldrystone is one of my favorite Ingrid Seymour series so far.

Been eagerly waiting for the final conclusion for this series. I’ve loved the Spanish theme throughout the story. It put a different spin into the typical fae stories.

This book picks up right where book 2 left off with Valeria, Korben, and company crossing over the veil into fae territory. Not all is the same though as to when Korben was trapped on the other side of the veil 20 years ago. Magic has slowly died out except for a select few, and an imposter Queen sits on the throne. Valeria and Korben must fight for both lands to bring peace back to the world.

I enjoyed this book. Finished it in one day. It was fast-paced and the story moved well. It was nice to see Tiramog and the descriptions of all the different aspects really built out the world. There’s definitely some aspects of the story I wish could have lasted longer. Felt there were a couple points that were such an emphasis throughout the books but their conclusions felt sudden and underwhelming.

I won’t spoil what I mean by this but….INGRID, WHY???? 😭😫😭😫 (iykyk). I just can’t get over it and still don’t agree with it.

I’d say of all 3 books, this one had the best spice and good sexual banter. We had a few really good scenes, especially the campfire scenes 😜

The epilogue was a nice ending that answered one of the biggest questions I had by the end of the book, so that was good.

Overall, a great series that I would recommend to anyone. There’s spice but it doesn’t overpower the overall plot.

The final book of The Eldrystone Series is a gripping conclusion that starts with a deeper look into Saethra and Korben’s past. For those familiar with the earlier books, Saethra was once Korben’s wife before the Veil closed. This book provides more insight into their wedding night and reveals the events that led to Korben’s journey through the Veil in search of the Eldrystone. We finally learn what motivated Saethra’s actions and the reasons behind the choices she made that affected Korben and everyone else.

The story picks up immediately after Valeria and Korben pass through the Veil, only to encounter guards stationed right where they arrived. From there, the book takes us on an intense, edge-of-your-seat journey as the group navigates Korben’s kingdom, a place that no longer feels like home. The kingdom has changed drastically, and the magic that once thrived there is now gone. Something major has shifted in the time Korben was trapped beyond the Veil.

Korben’s primary goal is to reclaim his throne and restore order, while Valeria shares that ambition but also yearns to return to her sister and aid the imprisoned fae. Both characters have undergone significant growth throughout the series. Korben has come to terms with the mistakes of his past and strives to make amends, while Valeria is no longer the naïve princess we met at the start of the series. She’s now a determined and battle-hardened warrior, committed to fighting for what’s right.

The book is filled with action, moving the story forward seamlessly and keeping readers hooked until the very end. The emotional finale left me with tears, and the “one year later” epilogue was the perfect way to wrap up the story. Seeing where the characters are after everything that’s happened was a heartwarming and satisfying conclusion to an unforgettable series.

What an ending to the series!
After crossing the veil, Valeria, Korben, and their allies are learning how things in the fae realm are going, with Saethara on the throne and magic not working properly. There are obstacles at every turn, difficult challenges to face, heartbreaking moments, and surprising revelations. The road to victory isn't shiny, just rainbows and unicorns, it is painful and cruel.
I very much appreciate the slightly mixed feelings after the ending. Loss is a natural part of life, and although every reader probably hopes for HEA for every character, I appreciate the fact this wasn't the case - it made the story feel even more realistic, and touching my heart. It is a reflection of war and oppression, and the dire consequences of coming victorious from a fight. I was glad for Amira, happy for Valeria and Korben, and had a good laugh at the unexpected amount of "no" at the end :) Amazing reading experience, this whole series!

I could not put this book down! Some series take a little bit to get yourself back into it when waiting for the next book to come out, this is not one of them. I started reading and it picked up exactly where Echoes of the Raven left off and it brought all the memories with it too. It was a great ending to the trilogy that got me with all the feels. I love when authors don't make everything perfect during a story. I like to see struggle, grief, death, and them having to rise above obstacles like in real life.

Through the entire book I truly enjoyed the growth from Korben and Valeria, but it wasn't just them. Jago shocked me with the way he stepped up. It also answered so many questions left hanging out there from the first two books. I can't wait to see what Ingrid writes next, because I'm reading it.

OMG! This conclusion destroyed me! I honestly do not know what to do after this book! My heart is in pieces and I don’t think it will ever be the same!

I seriously cannot get over this trilogy! It will live rent free in my mind for a long time! The character development from book 1 to book 3 is astounding. And the whole thing is a such a friggin roller coaster ride! Korban is my man and I love every facet of him! He has grown so much and I love him even more for it! And Val! Oh my poor girl Val! She has become so strong and fierce! Absolutely beautiful!

I will not be able to recommend this series enough! I love the Spanish twist and flare on this Fae romantasy! Absolutely. In. Love! 👏👏 Well done Ingrid!

Flight of the Raven (The Eldrystone Book 3) by Ingrid Seymour continues to deliver strong, well-developed characters that have been a highlight of the series from the beginning. The dynamics between the main cast kept me engaged, and I appreciated how their growth carried through this third installment. However, the final battle—something the story had been building toward—fell a bit flat. It lacked the intensity and payoff I was hoping for, leaving the climax feeling more like a quiet fizzle than a dramatic finish. Still, if you’re invested in the characters, this is a worthwhile read, even if the ending doesn’t quite soar.

What a fantastic ending to a phenomenal trilogy! This book, starts up right where Echoes of the Raven left off, instantly pulling me back into this creative world and these characters. Lots of tension, continued adventure, and non stop action...and a few heartbreaks along the way. I loved everything about this book and this series, the world building and character arcs where superb. I will be recommending this trilogy to all of my fantasy romance reader friends.
I received an arc of this book and all opinions are my own.

OMG! This series has been incredible since book one. It’s been one hell of an adventure that you dont want to see come to and end but as with all good things, end it must and boy has the author given us an epic ending worthy of this series. Well paced and action packed, you find yourself lost back into this world as we follow these amazing characters one last time. Twists and turns are thrown in our path and had you gripping the edge of your seat, it’s emotional, its captivating, it’s exciting and I loved the way it was all bought together to give us this fantastic conclusion.

wow !!

Going in to this series I was skeptical because the reviews were a mix of bad to worse . I don’t know if they read the same series because I honestly loved it from start to finish. I loved seeing each character grow and develop , the twists and turns, the emotional roller coaster and so many moments that made me gasp. This series stole my heart, made me laugh and ripped my heart out all in the matter of chapters . I will gladly be adding physical copies to my library .

The conclusion to this series was perfect. We get a great balance of action and growth from the characters. Two people that have different goals but are tied together. This book gives you more in depth answers to questions that you would have and make you understand the whys so much better. Loved the world that was created and finished in one sitting because it just captured me from start to finish. I was so hooked that I devoured every page at lightning speeds. Definitely a must read.

Oh, my heart!!!!! I could not put this book down! After the ending of book 2, I was desperate to find out what happens in Tirnanog! This book is not meant to be read as a standalone because the trilogy builds on the previous stories.

Without spoiling it for anyone, this book BROKE MY HEART! The characters went through so much that I held my breath in parts, gasped aloud in others. RUN, don't walk, to get this series!!!

Boy was this book a rollercoaster. I rooted for all of the characters. My heart was broken but also mended. It was a wonderful end to the series. I was sad to see these characters go, but happy to get to their ending. This series is full of secrets, magic, betrayal, political agendas, and action. This book captivated me and kept the story at a fast pace. I'm excited to see where this author goes next.

This the third book in this trilogy and is fast paced. I was glued to the book from page one. I loved that this picks up right where book 2 ends. This has phenomenal world build and character development. Valeria has been my favorite because of her spunk and bravery. This trilogy is a must read, the plot twists are juicy and not predictable.

This book was the perfect finish to an amazing series. I enjoyed the story very much and I hate that one of my beloved characters didn't make it. But that's what makes it all the more realistic. If you love magic, fae, spunky characters and absolutely detestable villains, this book is for you, enjoy it, I know I did! 😍

Wow, it has all been leading to this and the story does not disappoint. I was hooked from the beginning and has to watch as it all played out with the drama, intrigue and twists. I laughed and groaned but thought it was an amazing read. Will Valeria and Korben be able to save everyone and get the magic back had me glued to the end. Plus all the other characters were so much fun to watch.

I absolutely devoured this book and was left craving more. The rich lore, diverse realms, and intriguing characters had me completely hooked—I only wish some had been explored even further! The humor throughout this book (and the entire trilogy) was spot on, adding to the overall enjoyment.

It was a thrilling and fun adventure from start to finish!

A great ending to this trilogy! If you’re an extreme detail person you’ll enjoy every moment of this book but if you’re like me and you just want to know what happens you’ll be skipping stuff 🤣 All in all, it was a good read, but Ingrid girl, did you have to be so mean to our man Jago!!?? That one hurt my heart!

This was the best of the series in my opinion. It moved much faster and fullerr with adventure. Of course the spice was right on, not too much or too little. The twists were not tyhe greatest but none the less there were a few. There was one little sneaky part of a fake death that got me. I did get through the 3 book series in 4 days so it was addicting and enjoyable.
