Synopsis

Bertram Drake, the most mysterious Drake brother, leads a life shrouded in secrecy. Taken from his brothers at a young age and shaped into a weapon to be used by the dragon council, he has one sole purpose: obey the orders given to him, no matter what they might be.

Once a perfect jewel of the Pedigree, Sorin’s sparkle has been dulled. Taken from his cloister and sold regularly to the highest bidder, he has learned two vital truths.

The first: that dragons are monsters who will stop at nothing to get what they want.

And the second, most terrible truth of all: that egg madness is a lie—omegas are not saved from a lifetime of pain even when they are separated from their eggs.

When Sorin’s newest buyer mysteriously dies, Sorin sees it as his chance to escape from the hellish life he’s been forced to lead. The only obstacle? A handsome agent of the council who has been tasked with ending his life.

… and who has custody of his eggs.

Raven: Part One is a 100,000 word omegaverse mpreg-ish romance set prior to the events of the Forbidden Desires series. It contains action, adventure, heartbreak, laughter, and more than its fair share of steam. For maximum enjoyment, Raven: Part One is best read following the events of Clutch, Bond, Mate, Swallow, Magpie, Finch, and Peregrine.

So much to absorb!

I owned a copy of all of the previous audiobooks in this series but I’d never made time to listen to them *hangs head*. When I got the opportunity to listen to Raven: Part One for the purposes of this blog post I immediately started listening to the series from the beginning. All I can say is WOW! I’m actually happy that I waited and listened to them all one right after the other. This kept the events from each book fresh in my mind and I think reading/listening to the books in order will give you the most enjoyment.

The world building for this series is wonderful; the authors truly did a great job writing all of the books. I loved everything about the stories but what made them extra special for me was the outstanding audio performances by Michael Ferraiuolo. He has been a favorite of mine since I listened to my very first audiobook he performed nearly six years ago. The voices he chose for each character in this lengthy series were perfect and distinct. I don’t know how he managed to keep them all straight but his talent as a voice actor knows no bounds.

I guess I really should say something about the story, too. 😊 It was absolutely wonderful and had all of my emotions working overtime. I don’t have the words to express how much I enjoyed it and how much it captivated me. It explains so much about Raven and Bertram and yet I know that there is so much more to come in part two and I can’t wait to listen to it.
