A set of magical triplets, two warring dynasties, and a broken crown waiting for its rightful owner…
Deep within an enchanted forest lies a castle where a set of triplets and their sorceress mother have lived for years — safe from the decades-long war for the Raven Throne that rages in the kingdom beyond. Cordelia, one of the triplets, has the power to become any animal with just a thought, and she yearns to discover more about the world outside her castle.
But one day, the world comes to her, when the eldest of the triplets becomes the newest heir to the throne. Knowing that being named heir means certain death, Cordelia’s mother hid the truth about which child is the eldest when she hid them in the forest. When her family is captured, it’s up to Cordelia to use her powers to keep her siblings hidden and discover the truth about the Raven Heir — before it’s too late.
A thrilling new fantasy full of magic, adventure, and the power of family.

The Raven Heir Review:
“The Raven Heir” is a beautiful start to “The Raven Crown” series, and I enjoyed it mainly because of Cordelia.
Initially, when I started reading this book, I didn’t know what to expect. I loved the Rapunzel vibes from initially reading about Cordelia (well, except that she has magical powers). Cordelia is a fascinating character, and I loved how unique the author made her. She can change into any wild animal, and I liked how the author describes her reactions, like transforming into a horse.
The author fills the story with action and adventure right from the first page. I feel the story has the perfect example of how a middle-grade fantasy adventure should be. We also get a magical world with forests, mountains, and kingdoms, with characters of special powers that make the story gripping. Some scenes shocked me, like what the grandmother does with the drink or fighting the soldiers. The author also adds shocking twists and turns, and we learn more about Cordy’s past. Lady Elianora is a formidable villain in the story, and I enjoyed how the author progressed the storyline.
Another reason why I liked his story is how the author portrayed the importance of family. The author also describes the relationship between the siblings realistically, where they bicker and make up as we would. Rosalind and Giles share a close bond with Cordy, as well as Connall. I felt all the characters brought something new to the story to make it memorable.
Overall, “The Raven Heir ” is a breathtaking middle-grade fantasy adventure with magic, and I enjoyed reading it a lot.
I am thrilled to be hosting a spot on The Raven Heir (The Raven Crown #1) by Stephanie Burgis Blog Tour hosted by TBR and Beyond Tours.
