Her name was Adelei. She was a master in her field, one of the feared Order of Amaska. Those who were a danger to the Little Dozen Kingdoms wound up dead by her hand. The Order sends her deep into the Kingdom of Alexander, away from her home in Sadai, and into the hands of the Order's enemy.
The job is nothing short of a suicide mission, one serving no king, no god, and certainly not Justice. With no holy order to protect her, she tumbles dagger-first into the Boahim Senate's political schemes and finds that magic is very much alive and well in the Little Dozen Kingdoms.
While fighting to unravel the betrayal surrounding the royal family of Alexander, she finds her entire past is a lie, right down to those she called family. They say the truth depends on which side of the sword one stands. But they never said what to do when all the swords are pointing at you.
Amidst her enemies, in a land from the darkest reaches of her past, she must decide if she is to be more than another brainwashed puppet. No matter her choice, she must fight to do what is just and right to save the people of the Little Dozen.
Raven Oak is the author of the bestselling fantasy novel, Amaskan's Blood, the bestselling science fiction novella Class-M Exile, and the upcoming space opera, The Eldest Silence. She spent most of her K-12 education doodling stories and 500-page monstrosities that are forever locked away in a filing cabinet.
When she's not writing, she's getting her game on with tabletop and console games, indulging in cartography, or staring at the ocean. She lives in Seattle, WA with her husband and their three kitties, who enjoy lounging across the keyboard when writing deadlines approach.

"With a ferocious-yet-fragile heroine, resonant themes, and a
sweepingly gorgeous backdrop, Amaskan's Blood delivers food for
thought and frank enjoyment." --Maia Chance, author of the
bestselling Fairy Tale Fatal series
"An exciting epic fantasy filled with intrigue and layers upon
layers of well crafted secrets and lies." 4/5 stars. --Stephanie
Hildreth of 100 Pages a Day
"Holy crap, this is good!" --Seattle Geekly
"[A] fantasy novel in its truest form...these well-developed
individuals held me captive. It was a very strong start to a
fantasy series that I very much look forward to following." --Pure
Jonal: Confessions of a Bibliophile Reviews
"The prose itself is...a cut above the rest as Raven Oak playfully
dances with the reader. It's the addition of just enough detail,
and the right amount of it, that makes this read. Oak is
loquaciously talented and the writing in the book shines. [She]
crafts [her] words carefully, in order to pull the reader in, and
once he's hooked, reels him in." --Open Book Society
"Oak draws on the power of themes found in fairy tales we've all
grown up with, and weaves them into a powerful tale full of
violence, emotion and anguish, whilst delivering a powerful and
well held together story....If George R R Martin wrote Tangled, it
might be a bit like this." --Noor Jahangir, author of The
Adventures of Some Kid
