All right folks, I won't keep you in suspense any longer.

The Raven are back for a seventh adventure. It is not book four of the Legends, it is not a prequel. It is a stand-alone, last hurrah for our favourite band of mercenary-turned-world-savers.

The story is set ten years after the events of Demonstorm (or to be exact, five years after the last chapter of Demonstorm).

I'm not saying who will be there and who won't but look out for a few old faves, though not perhaps as you might expect. You'll be glad to know I won't be breaking any rules... so there is no resurrection, nor is there rebirth.

Let's just say that in the multi-dimensional world of which Balaia is one very small part, love and honour can transcend the borders of life and death. And when a problem occurs that threatens everyone... the living, the dead, the dragons and even the demons, well, someone's got to do something.

Ladies and Gentlemen, coming in July 2008, I give you:

Ravensoul
