An LGBTQ+ epic fantasy
The old covenant of the gods is broken. Will the world break, too?
When an army of vampires invades the island of Trosika, Rio and Turi must fight for their future. Rio is a healer and a priest of Astara who suffers severe self-doubt and a growing crisis of faith; even his goddess cannot stop the forces arrayed against them. Turi has long buried a secret about himself that he fears could upend everything.
When Rio unseals a centuries-old tomb, releasing the immortal and cursed prince Philip, he discovers that he has a bond with Philip that stretches across lifetimes. As Turi grapples with his secrets, he is recruited by the terrifying goddess Mormo and gifted with necromancy for reasons he does not understand.
Rio and Turi must contend with bloodthirsty mages, battle an endless army of vampires, and confront the truth of who Turi truly is; most of all, they must rely on their unshakable friendship to survive. As they struggle to protect each other, their religion, and their island home, the fate of an empire hangs in the balance.
Descent of Ravens is an exciting new fantasy with gay, trans, and nonbinary protagonists, rich world-building, and dark adventure!
Content Warnings: This is a work of fantasy with LGBTQ+ characters, violence (including epic battle scenes), adult language, and adult situations including mildly explicit scenes of sensuality and consensual sex suitable for older YA listeners and adult listeners. There are sadistic villains whose sadism involves cutting and blood and feral vampires who are, ahem, messy eaters.

Fantastic

The narrator was new to me and I felt he did a great job differentiating the characters' voices and expressing their emotions.
I received a free copy on this audiobook and am voluntarily leaving this honest review.

I found Rio a compelling hero. His story interested me as well as his connection to Philip. Other characters struck me, but those two were most fascinating.
I also loved the diversity of characters. That array of sexual orientations and attractions was the reason I snagged the book and I wasn’t disappointed.
Isaac Grisham is a new narrator to me and I thought he did a good job. Overall, I’m glad I grabbed this one.

The world building is really well done with the vampires, mages, goddesses, and the characters are well rounded and multidimensional. I don’t even know who is my favourite character - I love them all so much.
Isaac Grisham is a new to me narrator, and as usual with a new narrator it took me a bit to get into the swing of his style but it worked wonderfully with the story line and characters. Definitely looking forward to more from the series.
