Flight of the Raven, free eBook, Judith Sterling, literary giveaway, Medieval Monday, medieval romance, The Novels of Ravenwood
Welcome back to Medieval Monday! It’s the eighth and final week of our “Family” theme. As promised, I have the last snippet of my excerpt from Flight of the Raven. Be sure to leave a comment for a chance to win the eBook, or if you already have it, your choice of another of my books. I’ll announce the winner next Monday, December 31. So without further ado…
“Lady Ravenwood wants what I cannot give.”
Robert raised an eyebrow. “And that is?”
“Love,” William said, as though naming a disease.
“She wants what is her due.”
“Because I slid a wedding band onto her finger?”
“No. Because of what she’s given you.”
His jaw tightened. “She won’t give me an heir. That much I know.”
“Well, you’d better listen to what I know. You’re happier at Ravenwood than you’ve been in years.”
Emma’s violet eyes and spirited smile raided William’s thoughts. “ʼTis fleeting, Robert. Mere moments of happiness.”
“A lifetime can be built from such moments…if you allow it.”
And there you have it! Here’s a bit more about the book:
How eager would the bridegroom be if he knew he could never bed the bride?
Lady Emma of Ravenwood Keep is prepared to give Sir William l’Orage land, wealth, and her hand in marriage. But her virginity? Not unless he loves her. The curse that claimed her mother is clear: unless a Ravenwood heir is conceived in love, the mother will die in childbirth. Emma is determined to dodge the curse. Then William arrives, brandishing raw sensuality which dares her to explore her own.
William the Storm isn’t a man to be gainsaid. He’ll give her protection, loyalty, and as much tenderness as he can muster. But malignant memories quell the mere thought of love. To him, the curse is codswallop. He plans a seduction to breach Emma’s fears and raze her objections. What follows is a test of wills and an affirmation of the power of love.

award winning author, five-star review, Guardians of Erin, Judith Sterling, literary giveaway, N. N. Light's Book Heaven, new release, Tena Stetler, The Cauldron Stirred, The Stone Awakened
Good news and an early Christmas present: N. N. Light’s Book Heaven has given The Stone Awakened five stars! What a lovely launch into the world for a story that’s near to my heart. Here’s a snippet of the review:
“Filled with plenty of conflict, action and mystery, this is a must-read for any reader looking for a book to lose oneself in. There’s quite a bit going on and Judith Sterling weaves mythology throughout the plot with ease.”
You can read the full review here:
And guess what? I’m doing another giveaway of the award-winning first book in the series, The Cauldron Stirred; this time, on Tena Stetler’s blog. We’d love to see you, and you just might win! Join us here:
https://www.tenastetler.com/judith-sterlin-author-of-the-stone-awakened/
That’s all the news for now. Whatever your plans for today, I hope they go well for you. Cheers!
A little more about The Stone Awakened:
Since moving to Ireland, Ashling Donoghue has tackled one challenge after another. Now the mystery of her parents’ disappearance seems unsolvable. Are they dead or only missing? No one—not even the godlike Breasals—has a clue. Hope and fear war inside her, but she’s determined to find answers and stay strong for her siblings. Even as she hones newfound powers, her banshee-in-training sister Deirdre needs her support.
Ashling could use a little help herself. She’s struggling to navigate her first romance, and while Aengus Breasal stirs her body, mind, and soul, his nemesis Lorcan does too. Both men harbor secrets about her past life as Caer. One has ties to Aoife, the scheming wind demon whose influence is on the rise.
As the Stone of Destiny awakens, so does the conflict within.
