RAVEN OF INNER PALACE NOVEL SC VOL 02 #1

A tale of dark magic and court intrigue in a setting inspired by historical China. Deep within the palace lives a mysterious woman known only as the Raven Consort. Some say she's an old woman, others that she's young and beautiful. But all are agreed on this: her dark arts have the power to exorcise spirits, lay fatal curses, and find what has been lost-for a price. When the young emperor, Koushou, seeks out the Raven Consort to make use of that magic, what follows will overturn the court... and perhaps even the country.
