Selene Ravenwood, once the heir to House Ravenwood, is now an exile. On the run and free of her family's destiny, Selene hopes to find the real reason her family was given the gift of dreamwalking. But first she must adapt to her new life as wife to Lord Damien Maris, the man she was originally assigned to kill.
While adjusting to her marriage and her home in the north, her power over dreams begins to grow. As the strongest dreamwalker to exist in ages, her expanding power attracts not only nightmares but the attention of the Dark Lady herself.
With a war looming on the horizon and a wicked being after her gift, Selene is faced with a choice: embrace the Dark Lady's offer, or search out the one who gave her the gift of dreamwalking. One path offers power, the other offers freedom. But time is running out, and soon her choice will be made for her.

Lady Selene is the heir to the Great House of Ravenwood and the secret family gift of dreamwalking. As a dreamwalker, she can enter a person’s dreams and manipulate their greatest fears or desires. For the last hundred years, the Ravenwood women have used their gift of dreaming for hire to gather information or to assassinate.
As she discovers her family’s dark secret, Selene is torn between upholding her family’s legacy–a legacy that supports her people–or seeking the true reason behind her family’s gift.
Her dilemma comes to a head when she is tasked with assassinating the one man who can bring peace to the nations, but who will also bring about the downfall of her own house.
One path holds glory and power, and will solidify her position as Lady of Ravenwood. The other path holds shame and execution. Which will she choose? And is she willing to pay the price for the path chosen?

A great second installment in Busse's enthralling fantasy series!
I read and loved the first book in this series when it released last year, and as soon as I finished it I knew I wanted to read the next book. So needless to say I jumped at the chance to read and review Flight of the Raven! I already knew I loved Selene and Damien and it was fabulous to watch their relationship develop and deepen. One of my very favorite scenes was when Damien offered to brush and style Selene's hair and then proceeded to do just that, it was just such a tender and incredibly sweet scene that I totally melted!
I love this storyworld! In general I'm not a big fan of fantasy, partly due to the fact that I usually struggle to keep all the different characters and groups of people straight in my mind, but I have never for a moment had that problem with this series!
I did really enjoy this book, but the pace was a bit too slow for my taste. I completely understand why it was slower paced, and while I was reading I was engrossed in the story, but when I would set it down I didn't really feel much of a pull to return to it. There were several moments in this book that I loved, especially towards the end! The spiritual message is my favorite part of the series and never fails to bring a smile to my face!
Overall, even though I didn't love Flight of the Raven as much as Mark of the Raven I am very glad I read it and I can't wait for the next book in the series! I highly recommend Flight of the Raven, but be sure to read Mark of the Raven first.
(4 Stars!)
I received a complimentary copy of this book from the publisher. Which did not influence my review in any way, all thoughts and opinions are one hundred percent my own.
