Synopsis

When Alerice Linden dies at the beginning of her story... don't worry. She gets better.

Having poisoned the town official who assaulted her and murdered her cousin, Alerice thought she could out-ride the Shire Reef, but after being stabbed she wakes in the Realme.There, Alerice discovers she is a Realme Walker, a mortal who can traverse the living world and the spirit world.

The Realme's snarky, gender-fluid herald, Oddwyn, brings Alerice to the King of Shadows and the Raven Queen, both of whom want her as their champion. Sensing that she has always been a part of the Realme, Alerice pledges herself to the Raven Queen and embarks on a series of adventures. Oddwyn assists her, but so does Kreston Dühalde, a former brigade captain with a tragic past.

And what is the first task the Raven Queen assigns? Slay a two-faced beast that preys upon innocent souls. Only, tasks aren’t always straightforward, and 'beasts' aren't always mythical.

The Beast of Basque is the first adventure in Tales of the Ravensdaughter - six linked novellas that deliver epic fantasy in 1-hour reads. If you’re a busy Fantasy Fan looking for a story of reclaiming your power despite your past, then The Beast of Basque is for you.
