🐦‍⬛ May Book of the Month ~ The Raven Scholar by Antonia Hodgson🐦‍⬛

The Raven Scholar was an easy pick for Paper Moon’s book of the month, as this epic fantasy perfectly weaves together political intrigue, a deadly competition and unpredictable plot twists!

ABOUT THE BOOK:

After twenty-four years, the Emperor of Orrun’s reign is at an end. In the dizzying heat of mid-summer, seven exceptional warriors, trained at rival monasteries, will compete to replace him. Then one of them is murdered. It falls to the brilliant but idiosyncratic scholar Neema Kraa to investigate. But as she hunts for a killer, darker forces are gathering…

Come grab a copy and chat to Hannah afterwards about Hodgson’s insane story-telling abilities 📚💜
