A city ruled with an iron fist. A swordsmith just trying to survive. A choice that could heal the world…or plunge it into ruin.
Llun the smith is an artist at heart, content to make the most beautiful swords, nails, and horseshoes in his city. But when his smithy is visited by the grand inquisitor of the secret police, his peaceful life is at an end.
He is offered a perfect job–to be the exclusive smith of the new order. Endless luxury, good food, and the freedom to create–it’s everything he ever wanted. But it comes with a price. He has to make a metal flask as a gift to the mysterious new ruler of his city. Seized by a strange inspiration, he instead creates an object of great power that can heal thousands… or lead to a war that would never end.

Reviews
“Nicholas Kotar set the bar high with his first book The Song of the Sirin. Book two The Cruse of the Raven does not disappoint. As is customary for Kotar, there are many twists and turns, and lots of mystery. This novella is a grand achievement and highly recommended both as a great read and for its literary value.” – David Wood
“As with the Song of the Sirin, The Curse of the Raven is a beautifully written tale with engaging characters and great world building.” – Anthony Perkins
“The Curse of the Raven is a very worthy sequel to the Song of the Sirin. There is beautiful imagery, captivating characters, and a masterful sequencing of events. There were times when I found my eyes tripping over words trying to read as fast as possible to find out what happens next.” – Rebecca Rovny
“I would call it, Lord of the Rings meets 1984, meets Brave New World, meets Gulag Archipelago.” – Isaac Crabtree
