To Render a Raven
Sobre aquest llibre
"An action thriller with complex queer characters and realistic emotional situations." —Sionnach Wintergreen
“An intoxicating mix of magic and mystery that will keep you turning pages.”—Eileen Cook, Author of With Malice
Estrada is High Priest of Hollystone Coven, a shaman and magician, but is he a match for a vengeful vampire? When Diego steals his daughter from her crib on the eve of her first birthday, the Hollystone witches converge. The same night, a woman is murdered and another abducted. All three scenes are marked by roses that point to Michael Stryker, Estrada’s lover and best friend—a man with a strange dark “virus” brewing inside him. As the witches journey up the Pacific coast, emotions run raw as the close confines of a yacht heighten the tension between his jealous lovers. And then they meet the ravens . . .
Diego wants blood. Estrada wants his baby back. What will the high priest sacrifice to bring his daughter home?
A sexy Hitchcockian thriller that demystifies Vampire and illustrates the power of Love.
“Estrada flexed his bicep and stared at his latest tattoo. Corvus Corax. The raven’s back broke into a flurry of feathers and deranged birds to remind him how he’d split the terror asunder with the force of his right arm. He could still feel the damp steel, the hot blood, the hollow pit of his pulsing gut as he struck. The creature held a bloody rose in its beak so he’d never forget how close he’d come."
Sobre l'autor
W. L. Hawkin is an award-winning author from the West Coast of Canada. Because she’s a genre-blender, you might find crime, mystery, poetry, romantic suspense, fantasy, adventure, and even time-travel interwoven in her stories. Her books have been described as “heart-pounding, cinematic, enchanting and sensual, LGBTQ mysteries and thrillers.”
Her Hollystone Mysteries series features a coven of West Coast witches who solve murders using ritual magic and a little help from the gods. The books—To Charm a Killer, To Sleep with Stones, To Render a Raven, and To Kill a King—follow Estrada, a flawed magician and coven high priest as he endeavors to save his family and friends while sorting through his own personal issues. Her latest, Lure: Jesse & Hawk, is small-town romantic suspense set on a Chippewa reservation in the American Midwest.
Wendy graduated from Trent University with a B.A. in Indigenous Studies. She went on to study English literature at S.F.U. in British Columbia, and then teach high school. Wendy is now an author/publisher at Blue Haven Press and regular reviewer for the Ottawa Review of Books.
As an intuitive writer, Wendy captures on the page what she sees and hears, allowing her muses to guide her through the creative process. She needs to feel the energy of the land, so although she’s an introvert, in each book her characters go on a journey where she’s traveled herself. If you don’t find her at Blue Haven Press, she’s out wandering the woods or beaches of Vancouver Island with her beautiful yellow dog. W. L.
