A world ripped asunder is waiting for a savior. But for young Wren, the prophecy that claimed her has gone all wrong …

Once, deep in the past, Ravens had the power to shift between human and bird form and travel to other worlds, carrying messages for the great god Odin.

But one bloody act of disobedience brought punishment to all. Today, the Ravens are frozen in human shape and divided into three groups—the Day Ravens, confined to a land where the sun never sets; the Night Ravens, whose territory never sees the day; and the hated Leatherwings, caught between the two. Only the foretelling of the White Raven gives hope that the land might be healed.

As the only child of the Day Raven King, she is her father’s prize, a cherished daughter who must be kept safe from their enemies—but she is no helpless maiden. Now, almost 19, the moment is approaching when Wren will come into her powers and assume her place as the White Raven and her father’s heir. Until a cascade of unexpected events alters everything. Suddenly, Wren is being married off to a wealthy family and sent away from her home.

As he carries her farther and farther away from everything she knows, Wren begins to realize that very little she was taught is true. And when this Night Raven saves her from unspeakable danger, a strange and powerful bond begins to form …
