The Priestess and the Ravenknight is a medieval fantasy tale of courage, love and loyalty set in the world called Tiaera.
A mysterious deity takes over the dark elven city of Espion, bringing mass executions and unholy sacrifices. In the face of the new god’s reign of terror, rebels still loyal to the Mother Goddess of Tiaera remain in the once peaceful medieval city, determined to help those captured by or hiding from the usurper’s Host of Wrath. Serving in Espion's army, Ravenknight Krymson Larolin is torn between his sworn duty and the seemingly absent goddess, until he finds himself protecting the High Priestess of Espion — a revered follower of the new god.
Excerpt
Whilst I continued to ponder what had just happened, the high priestess turned away to face the congregation and began to chant. I gripped the hilt of my sword and looked at every pew in the sanctuary. Could she be worrying about an assassin or a traitor bent on disrupting the service? I eyed everyone, but saw only dark elven worshippers. No one entered armed; the ravenknights saw to that.
"And now, all arise for The Offering." The high priestess commanded in a voice that sounded strange or uneasy. The congregation stood, eyes closed and hands clasped in solemn reverence.
"May this life please you enough to grant us thy favor and continued blessings. We trust in you, Dark Father and do this in thy name. Praise be, Ludovique Firebrand, Lord of Sangrey and one day...all of Tiaera!" The high priestess cried out at the unseen god and raised her hand.
Everyone then watched as the priestess revealed a bejeweled dagger she was holding. I saw her lips move just afore she drove the blade into the heart of a young female wood elf who was bound to an elaborate sacrificial altar a few feet away….

Okay, see, now, this book is what I am talking about!! You got it, EV! You got it. The characters are yours, the plot is yours,and I am not fighting this unexplainable mental confusion that I experienced with the Realmwalkers.
I thought, “Azurene? Isn’t she…? Isn’t she that dark elf priestess in Realmwalkers?” And then I realized this was how they got together! They were two of my favorite characters in that book, and now they have their own book. I am so happy.
I love this book. I am only on Chapter 3 but it is just such a lovely read. Thank you for signing it for me. That is so special, and that you packed it up and got it to me with your own hands. The personal touch just is so tangible. Love and roses!

This prequel to Realmwalkers has a lot going for it. It has forbidden love, magic battles and overcoming long odds. I enjoyed the interactions between the warrior and the priestess. The combat scenes had lots of sorcerous action and scary twists. It is a great story about two characters seen in Realmwalkers and it was sweet to hear more about them. A very enjoyable escape from reality. I look forward to more stories about the other characters from Realmwalkers and I would recommend this book to my friends.
