the Raven and Wolf

"Love is not the absence of the curse-but the strength to face it, and the mercy to stay." Cori is no ordinary woman-she has lived for centuries, bearing the ancient curse of the valravn, a raven-creature born of death and blood. Haunted by memories of the lives she's taken and the darkness coiled within her, she wanders through time as both predator and penitent. Her heart is a battleground between the echo of humanity and the hunger of the beast.When she crosses paths with Ben-a steady, devoted presence carrying the quiet mark of the wolf -something long buried begins to stir. But love, to Cori, is a language she no longer believes she deserves to speak. Trust feels dangerous. Hope, impossible. As Ben reaches for her, patient and unwavering, she must learn not only how to love-but how to let herself be loved, even with the monster still inside her.As ancient forces awaken and prophecy draws near, Cori must confront not only what she has done-but what she still might become. Can love undo what sorrow has written in blood and bone? Or will the valravn claim her soul once and for all?The Raven and the Wolf is a story of sacred love, monstrous transformation, and the flicker of redemption that endures even in the blackest night.
