Synopsis

Raven (a.k.a. Micah of Greenfarm), the young son of a poor tenant farmer, lives just outside of Camelot. Like other poor farmers, he has no interaction with the reigning monarch, the great King Arthur, but his station means nothing to him when some of King Arthur’s knights rape and murder his sister. Raven swears an oath that transcends social station and nobility; he vows to avenge his sister and sets out to do so. Becoming a member of the royal household, Raven manages to get closer and closer to his targets. A combination of both fact and fiction, Cary James’s novel is full of adventure, intrigue, passion, hatred, and questioned loyalty.
