A Path of Blood and Amber (Silverblood Raven Book 1) Kindle Edition

by Nikki McCormack (Author) Format: Kindle Edition
4.5 out of 5 stars 149 ratings

Raven was eight when her parents were murdered. Now it’s happened again. Her guardian murdered. Their home destroyed. She can hunt and fight, but life in isolation hasn’t prepared her for survival outside the forest.

The magic within her makes her a target for execution by the Silverblood Brotherhood, an institution that regulates such powers with an iron fist. Having never spoken to a stranger before, how can she hope to navigate a world where anyone might turn her in for that magic?

Before his death, her guardian dreamed of living somewhere Raven would be safe and accepted. Maybe she can still find that, if the Brotherhood doesn’t find her first.

Editorial Reviews

Review

"Nikki McCormack built an intense amount of suspense into this fantasy. Raven's education was exceptional, apart from social skills. This makes her task even more difficult. The vivid depiction of Raven's emotions made me feel the pain and distrust she went through. I became upset when characters were injured or killed, especially when Raven felt she could have prevented their loss. The world-building descriptions made the scenes easy to envision, and I could see the story unfold into a complex community of supporting characters. The tension felt between different characters is an element that adds to the suspense. I am looking forward to reading the entire Silverblood Raven series to see how Raven grows. Fans of stories with a powerful female progressing in a challenging world will enjoy A Path of Blood And Amber." - Reviewed By Stephanie Chapman for Readers' Favorite, 5 Stars

    When an authors words bring back memories in the readers mind, it is such an accomplishment!
    Raven, being expertly trained makes her a believable character. The magic in her blood that increases her abilities is wonderful. The interplay of adventure and love is perfect!

    5.0 out of 5 stars engaging book
    Reviewed in the United States on December 29, 2024
    While the first book in a series, it can be read as a standalone.

    I enjoyed the MC as Raven leaves behind her life of (mostly) isolation to range in the larger world. Her features themselves betray that she is magic enhanced and part elven. Author McCormack doesn't just focus on her though. There are other characters followed in intervening chapters and its possible to see their focus and reasons for actions as their stories and Raven's entwine.

    Author McCormack crafted an indepth fantasy world filled with perils, adventures, an intriguing take on magic, machinations, and more. The story comments on how people interact with each other as well as being filled with the action and magic of fantasy worlds.

    A life of tragedy and isolation follow one so young on her own. Possessing gifts of magic she will become a target. Dreams of acceptance a focus through the danger that surrounds.

    An exciting quick read full of mystery, peril and heart. Some great scary creatures and a heroine you can get behind.
