Tremain is falsely accused of murdering his loved one and cursed to be a Raven, bound to serve the priestess for eternity. But on full moon days and high holidays, he is able to walk on the earth as a human. He is assigned to protect the queen’s daughter, Maili because humans have begun to notice her uniqueness, and the queen fears for her daughter’s safety. If Tremain fails to protect her, he will be bound to eternal hell.

Tremain longs to be human again, to shed his feathers and became mortal. But there is always a catch. In order for him to become human again, he needs to fall in love. His potential mate must love him, accept him the way he is, as a raven, without telling them who he is. When that time comes, his feathers will fall and he will regain his mortality and be with the one he loves. But how is he be able to achieve this when his heart has become bitter and he feels like he has no more love in his heart? His heart aches every time he thinks about his past love, Beatrice and how the world was against their union. His heart died the day he found her dead…

A witch without any power, Linnea cannot help but feeling frustrated of her lack of power. She was supposed to possess great magic as her family has in past generations. Where one day her power will awake, but there has been no sign of that happening. Everything in the world seems to be against her. Time is always against her and she always finds herself late reaching the theater play where she plays flute. Linnea is always wishing she had powers, magic and beauty. she cannot help feeling envy towards her beautiful friend who possesses the voice of heaven that captivates anybody who listens to it.

Then, Maili went missing. Linnea is worried for her best friend, her sister in heart. Maili looked distraught and worried a day before she disappeared. Linnea swears to turn the world upside down to find her. But when she finds a handsome warrior in Maili’s house with a sword in his hand and an ugly, sinister head in his other, she knew there was something out-of-this-world involved and now she is a part of it as well.

A fantastic read with grueling fights, a fearsome banshee queen, a dark goddess, a flock of raven warriors, three witches (does this sound very familiar?) and soul reincarnation. A Conspiracy of Ravens brings you into a world of fantasy and magic. This is a cleverly written story with an ending that will surprise you. Well, I know was surprised. I highly recommended this book to those who cannot live without magic and witches in their books.
