The first house we’re introduced to is the House of Peace, which is the House of Doves and the central island for these bird human people. They just have wings I believe, but use their own feathers to adorn their garments and resemble The Raven and The Dove.
Each of our main characters are a type of bird but also human. The descriptions and world building are brilliant, and even the character descriptions make you want to fly to these places floating above the clouds.
It’s easy to read, and is almost fairytale like in places. The first thing I have to say is that this book has a really beautiful writing style which flows nicely.
I personally do not know that story, so I won’t be talking about how close it is to the original. Yes I know you should judge, but it was just so pretty! I didn’t really have much information going in, but I’ve since found out it’s a Tristan and Isolde Retelling. So The Raven and The Dove was definitely a cover choice for me. He believes Lyana is the queen prophesied to save the world, and with the help of his favored spy, hidden deep in the highest ranks of the dove royal house, he will stop at nothing to have her. Unknown to the world above, on the foggy sea ten thousand feet below, a young king fights a forgotten war. After suffering a fatal blow, Rafe is saved by a beautiful dove who possesses forbidden magic, just like him.įate brought them together, now destiny will tear them apart… When a dragon interrupts their secret exchange, he orders his studious sibling to run. Reviled son of a dead king, Rafe would do anything for his beloved half-brother, Prince Lysander Taetanus, including posing as him in the upcoming courtship trials.
Upon fleeing the palace, the last thing she expects to find is a raven prince locked in a death match with a dragon. On the dawn of her courtship trials, Princess Lyana Aethionus knows she should be focused on winning her perfect mate, yet her thoughts wander to the open sky waiting at the edge of her floating kingdom. Four fates collide in this avian-inspired, epic fantasy retelling of Tristan and Isolde perfect for fans of Sarah J.
