Beware the Sworn of the Raven, with claws of steel and beaks sharp to feast upon all flesh.
The Bronze Dragons of Denay are defeated, their power over the Grand Kingdom broken for good, but victory has come at the highest of prices. As the rest of the army of the Usurper Daven Marcus retreats into the heartlands, they take precious hostages with them. Gathering every man-at-arms and ally who will answer the call, Prentice Ash and Marquis-Consort Farringdon launch their campaign to rescue the kidnapped women, to smash the remnant of the Denay army for good and end to the kingslayer’s tyranny. But Daven Marcus is not the only enemy the White Lions must face.
The Silent Hand of the Inquisition have guided the Grand Kingdom through secrecy and sorcery for a millennium. In dreams and visions, they have appeared as birds, singing false songs and preying on all the folk of the Grand Kingdom. Now they emerge from the shadows, revealing at last their full power. On forgotten paths, the Silent Hand’s elite warriors, the Sworn of the Raven, ride forth from the hidden Vault Above the Pit.
Storm crows that herald only slavery and death for the Grand Kingdom, the Raven knights will not release their master’s grip on the chains that have enslaved all for a thousand years, any more than Daven Marcus will let his precious hostages slip from his clutches. Every foe is roused against the Western Reach. Prentice and Farringdon must take the fight to many enemies, not only for the sake of their loved ones, but for the future of the entire Grand Kingdom.

About the author
Matt Barron
13 books34 followersMatt Barron grew up loving to read and to watch movies. He always knew he enjoyed science fiction and fantasy, but in 1979 his uncle took him to see a new movie called Star Wars and he was hooked for life. Then Dungeons and Dragons came along and there was no looking back. He went to university hoping to find a girlfriend. Instead, the Lord found him, and he spent most of his time from then on in the coffee shop, witnessing and serving his God. Along the way, he managed to acquire a Doctorate in History and met the love of his life, Rachel. Now married to Rachel for more than twenty years, Matt has two adult children and a burning desire to combine the genre he loves with the faith that saved him.

"Ravens of the Pit" the ninth book in the "Rage of Lions" series by Matt Barron. Firstly, do read this series in order. Secondly, some scenes portrayed can be brutal, vicious and demonic. Thirdly, never forget/underestimate the power of the Almighty. The Ashen Man goes above and beyond as usual to save his liege and try to vanquish evil in this very awesome book nine. With the expected powers against Prentice and his Lions, their odds of being victorious are slim, very slim. Being a religious person myself, I can say Matt’s writing has affected me deeply and I have enjoyed this epic tale immensely. Looking forward to the final book! I received an advance review copy for free and am leaving this honest review voluntarily.
