Enchanting, evocative, and steeped in the kind of mystical lore that lingers long after the final page." - early reader review"E.A. Bard expertly weaves history, magic, and romance into a delightful read. She casts a spell on the reader with her clever, witty writing and appreciation for Scotland's 17th-century history. You won't regret picking up A Tempest of Ravens." - early reader review"A Tempest of Ravens is a breath of fresh air in the historical romance genre, with a fantastical bent. With characters you can't help but relate to (and swoon over), settings that are so vivid it makes history come alive, and writing that is elegant, sharp and intentional, the care and craft reflected in this story are top-notch. I can't wait to see what Bard writes next!" - Nicole Evans, author of Blood Price less
