Mawat’s father, the former Lease, went missing just before he was required to pay the Raven’s price. When Eolo and his lord, Mawat, heir to the Raven’s Lease, return to Vastai, they find the city in chaos. However, this power comes at a price, as each Lease must sacrifice himself to the Raven in order to keep the god strong and Iraden safe. The human ruler of all of Iraden is known as the Raven’s Lease and has been chosen by the Raven to bear his power and enact the god’s will. For centuries, a powerful god known as the Raven has ruled over the rich kingdom of Iraden, offering protection and prosperity from atop a tower in the city of Vastai. The Raven Tower is set in a world filled with gods whose power and abilities can be gifted to humans in exchange for worship and offerings.
The bestselling author of the Imperial Radch series, Ann Leckie, presents her first foray into fantasy fiction with The Raven Tower, an intriguing fantasy read that I have been looking forward to for a while, and which attempts something new and different in its presentation. Publishers: Orbit and Hachette Audio (Audiobook Format – 26 February 2019)
