The Raven's Head | Karen Maitland
8 posts | 5 read | 8 to read
The Raven's Head by Karen Maitland, author of the bestselling and much-loved Company of Liars, will delight fans of Kate Mosse or Deborah Harkness seeking a new, dark fix. 'A compelling blend of historical grit and supernatural twists' Daily Mail on The Falcons of Fire and Ice Vincent is an apprentice librarian who stumbles upon a secret powerful enough to destroy his master. With the foolish arrogance of youth, he attempts blackmail but the attempt fails and Vincent finds himself on the run and in possession of an intricately carved silver raven's head. Any attempt to sell the head fails ... until Vincent tries to palm it off on the intimidating Lord Sylvain - unbeknown to Vincent, a powerful Alchemist with an all-consuming quest. Once more Vincent's life is in danger because Sylvain and his neighbours, the menacing White Canons, consider him a predestined sacrifice in their shocking experiment. Chilling and with compelling hints of the supernatural, The Raven's Head is a triumph for Karen Maitland, Queen of the Dark Ages.

I am posting one book a day from my extensive to be read collection. No description and no reason why I got these books. Some are really old and some are new; there are quite a few. Join the fun!

This is day 5.

(I forgot to post yesterday so I'm just going to do two today instead starting over).

I scanned 3 shelves today and my physical TBR list on Goodreads jumped to over a 100! That does not include the books I already read and I have a few more shelves to go. I shouldn't buy any physical books until I finish some 😅

This was one of good reads suggestions for me. I enjoyed it. Medieval mystery. It had betrayal, black magic, mad barons and monks. An enjoyable read. Flew through it. First book from this author and won't be the last

This lovely medieval mystery is #setinasmalltown in Norfolk UK. I always love Maitland's books, they have a great atmosphere and the mysteries are not very intricate but they are enjoyable. They also contain just a bit of magic. Books set in Medieval England are the books that got me back into reading again, I love this era.
