Raven found more of a home than she ever hoped for among the humans and elves in Amberwood, for a time. Recently, however, a shadow with silver eyes has started haunting her dreams. When someone she never thought to see again comes to warn her that her troubles with the Silverblood Brotherhood are far from over, she realizes her nocturnal visitor is more than a mere nightmare. Leaving her new home may be the only way to protect it.
With nowhere else to go, she decides to search for information about her mother's past. Her nights on the road continue to be haunted by the shadow presence. But the discovery of an item that belonged to her mother opens a door for someone else to enter her dreams. Someone who might be able to help her.

She invites you to join her for some fantastic adventures.
