I often think to myself, “there’s nobody that is as passionate about the world that they’ve concocted in their head as I am.” \u00a0And while I’m still not quite ready to throw in the towel just yet, I have seen some pretty vigorous contenders. \u00a0There are folks out there that treat their series like a child, raising them up from nothing to be powerful enough to stand on their own. \u00a0Alesia and Michael Matson treat their child like she’s the future queen.<\/p>\n

They’ve opened up their fantastic series, The Raven and the Iris, with Raven’s Tears.<\/em>\u00a0 A\u00a0trip to the world of Menelon opens a window to this vast fantasy that they’ve spent thirty years creating. \u00a0It’s a true passion the likes of which their characters wouldn’t even see coming. \u00a0I am truly impressed by their willingness to hammer away at it as hard as they have. \u00a0In doing so, they’ve forged a world that rivals some of the greatest fantasies you’ve ever seen.<\/p>\n

The Iris is Lady Angelique Blakesly, a young, intelligent, widowed noblewoman returned to Fernwall from a far-off, war-torn land, ostensibly to reclaim her dead family\u2019s barony. It\u2019s been a good life. She has more secrets than a cluster of cats, but was doing all right at keeping them sorted until she ran headlong into the man who could make her regret every one of them.<\/p>\n

The Raven is Sir Vincent Sultaire: con-man, information broker, playboy, rebel. He\u2019s also serving time for his crimes as a chief inspector for the city\u2019s police department, and has managed to tangle himself up in a state that looks suspiciously like \u201clove\u201d with the lovely and enigmatic Lady Blakesly. They\u2019re happily seducing each other under the noses of the ruling class, and it\u2019s all quite entertaining – until he\u2019s tasked with solving the mysterious theft of an ancient, priceless dwarven artifact. The trail he finds will lead him into some of the foulest corners of Fernwall\u2019s underworld. The last thing he expects to find there are the clues that implicate the woman he loves in layers upon layers of lies and treachery.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s a thrilling and fast-paced race for both lovers as they find that in spite of the answers they find, the only question left that matters is: What wouldn\u2019t<\/em>\u00a0you do for love?
\nRAVEN\u2019S TEARS, ON SALE NOW $1.99 THROUGH THE MONTH OF AUGUST
\nRaven’s Tears, Revised & Expanded<\/em>, is the first book in the “Raven and Iris” series. It’s a romance. It’s a police procedural tale. Most of all, it’s a story of true love, and of the sacrifices love demands. \u00a0One of the coolest things, I think, that the Matsons have done is include links to complementary material. \u00a0There’s access to a map of the Raven and Angel’s world, background information on all the events that have transpired – it truly is a very nice gesture from the authors.<\/p>\n

If Raven’s Tears<\/em> has caught your fancy (and it should have by now!), do check it out on Amazon<\/a>. \u00a0That should tide you over before Dead Man’s Trigger<\/em>, book two of the Raven & the Iris comes to Amazon in November!<\/p>\n
