Dark Heart of Ravenfell (Ravenfell Chronicles: Origins Book 4)

By forging the Pact of the Raven’s Fel, the Raven King saved the world from Dorga the Mad, but the power his bargain brought into existence was not without consequences. Those who bore the Ravenfell bloodline were now capable of crossing the veil between worlds freely in violation of the laws that created it, but such edicts were bound into the veil’s foundation for a reason. When a new life is born within the world of death, the ramifications of the Raven King’s bargain are made clear. The newborn child is seen as a defilement of the Netherworld by the spirits bound there, and their reprisal against the Raven King and the family who made such an abomination possible is swift and consequential. The Raven King and the family he founded are banished from the world of death, and the veil is closed to them forever. But the Pact of the Raven’s Fel was intended to protect the veil and shield the two worlds from each other. Forbidden passage through the veil, they are no longer able to guard the boundary as they are sworn. But for the spirits who inflicted the curse, that is all part of their plan. An ancient power has been biding its time for such an opening, and it is poised to strike. The only hope for either world, living or dead, may reside with the child born within death. Beaumont Ravenfell never knew his parents or the bizarre circumstances of his birth. He was raised by the old Ravenfell witch, Hildegard, under the watchful eye of a peculiar raven. The secrets of his origins have always been shrouded in mystery, but he is determined to discover the truth no matter the cost. The price of such answers, however, could be more than he ever imagined. Imbued with the blood and power of demons and aided by a band of dark yet wondrous allies, Beaumont must face the consequences of his existence and the unsettling secrets of his family’s creation. Once more, the Ravenfell lineage will face off against the forces of death in a battle that could tear down the boundary between worlds forever. Yet Beaumont Ravenfell is unique among all who came before him. His destiny awaits beyond the veil, and his quest to claim it will not only remake him but the entire legacy of the Ravenfell bloodline forever. The final tale of the Ravenfell Chronicles: Origins awaits.
