eBook edition of the award-winning epic fantasy, Amaskan's Blood, by Raven Oak.
Five minutes made all the difference.
Two sisters. Two loyalties. One path together...assuming Adelei follows her destiny.
Since childhood, Adelei's been trained by the best holy assassin in the Little Dozen Kingdoms, Master Bredych of the Order of Amaska. Her sister, on the other hand, has a life of privilege. The life meant for Adelei, a life she wants nothing to do with.
Now, a seasoned and respected Amaskan, the Order needs her for a mission she may not survive. The job is nothing short of a suicide mission, one serving no king, no god, and certainly not Justice. She'll be erased from the Order and for what? Who's behind the plot to wipe out the royal family of Alexander? And why does the Order care?
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.
Will Adelei succeed in protecting the family she loves? And which family will it be?
You'll love this new epic fantasy (Book I in the Boahim Trilogy), because the world is as rich as the wonderful characters you'll come to know, love, and sometimes hate.

Pure Jonal Reviews
"Adelei undertakes to save the kingdom, protect Margaret, and discover what truth, loyalty, duty, and family really mean--a tall order for any heroine...."
Publisher's Weekly
"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
"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
"If George R. R. Martin wrote Tangled, it might be a bit like this."
Noor Jahangir, author of The Adventures of Some Kid
"Holy crap, this is good!"
