دانلود کتاب The Raven Scholar 2025

In the empire of Orrun, every 24 years a deadly contest among seven temple champions decides the next emperor. High Scholar Neema Kraa, a brilliant but socially awkward intellectual, is unexpectedly thrust into this brutal competition when the Raven contender is murdered on the eve of the Trials. Charged both with solving the murder and taking her place in the contest, Neema uncovers a labyrinth of palace intrigues, hidden allegiances, and arcane corruption. As she probes deeper, she becomes caught in a web of secrets where trust is rare and betrayal is commonplace.

Amidst fierce Trials that test wit, endurance, strength, and creativity, Neema must protect her own life, clear her name, and maneuver through court politics—while receiving guidance from a mysterious, often sardonic Raven spirit. But just as she begins to piece together the conspiracy, a darker danger emerges: a power-hungry usurper has infiltrated the throne using forbidden magic, unleashing a plot that threatens to bind the realm’s sacred Guardians and plunge the empire into authoritarian rule. Neema’s only hope is to fight back—or risk becoming a pawn in a tyrant’s game¹.
