First Line Friday – Cry of the Raven (Morgan L. Busse)

Posted 13 March 2020 by Katie in Christian Fiction, Fantasy, First Line Fridays, Speculative / 5 Comments

Happy Friday, book lovers, and welcome to First Line Friday hosted by Hoarding Books. I’ve just started reading the conclusion to Morgan L. Busse’s Ravenwood Saga: Cry of the Raven. It’s been a great series so far, and I love the way the first lines of each of these books parallel one another. To jog your memory, here are the first lines from books one and two:

Mark of the Raven:   Cold. So cold. 
Flight of the Raven:   Dark. So dark.

And now for the first line of book three!

About the Book

Lady Selene Ravenwood has come into her full power as a dreamwalker just as the war with the Dominia Empire begins. Working with the other Great Houses, Selene and Damien use their gifts to secure the borders and save those devastated by the war. But conflict, betrayal, and hatred begin to spread between the Great Houses, destroying their unity as the empire burns a path across their lands. At the same time, Damien Maris starts to lose his ability to raise the waters, leaving the lands vulnerable to the empire’s attacks.

The only one who can unite the houses and restore her husband’s power is Selene Ravenwood. But it will require that she open her heart to those who have hurt her and let go of her past, despite the one who hunts her and will do anything to stop her power.

Will Selene survive? Or is she destined to fall like the dreamwalkers before her?

    Death prowled the cellblock like a dark animal seeking prey – especially the weakest. The House at the End of the Moor by Michelle Griep.

    Happy Friday! I’ll be reading this soon. 🙂 I’m sharing from The Outlaw’s Daughter by Margaret Brownley today. Here is the first line of chapter 16:

    “The house was small and sparsely furnished but had a warm, homey feeling that filled Matt with an unfamiliar longing.”

    Have a great weekend!

    My first line is from Woman of Sunlight by Mary Connealy.

    “You look awful.” Mitch Warden poured himself a cup of coffee and studied Ilsa Nordegren’s face as she stepped into the kitchen.
