Across the ocean and on the outskirts of Sleepy Hollow, Hulda Aupaumut lives in a cave beneath Raven Rock.

As violence approaches, Hulda unknowingly discovers mysterious new abilities through her family grimoire from Bohemia, and its connection to the unexplainable power of Raven Rock. Wolfram and Hulda's paths draw closer until they become forever entwined in Sleepy Hollow, united in the common goal of protecting the town and seeking revenge against the man who, twenty years earlier, unknowingly changed both of their lives. Raven Rock exists within the canon of Washington Irving's The Legend of Sleepy Hollow, weaving together details from the classic American horror tale, local folklore, and the historical context of the American Revolution.

Raven's Nest by R. Alan Phelps Pdf

Paul Maier never wanted to fly, preferring the comforting aroma of an old book over the pungent smell of aviation fuel. Yet no son of a senior Luftwaffe commander ever has much of a say when it comes to the choice of career, particularly in the midst of a global war. Fresh out of flight training, Paul now finds himself the pilot of “Dora”, an aging bomber assigned to the massive air fleet tasked with destroying the Royal Air Force and paving the way for a German invasion of the British Isles. Pressed by the demands of a ruthless commander, Paul and his comrades are repeatedly hurled into the teeth of British defenses. Only Dora seems immune to the carnage, protected by uncanny luck and the increasing skills of her young crew. Yet with other German bombers falling like ninepins under the guns of British fighters, Paul begins to harbor doubts about the possibility of victory and, ultimately, the nature of the Nazi regime he until now so dutifully served.

Eye of the Raven by Eliot Pattison Pdf

From the Edgar Award–winning author of Bone Rattler. “Evocative language, tight plotting, and memorable characters make this a standout” (Publishers Weekly, starred review). With the aid of the Native American Shaman Conawago, Duncan McCallum has begun to heal from the massacre of his Highland clan by the British. But his new life is shattered when he and Conawago discover a dying Virginian officer nailed to an Indian shrine tree. To their horror, the authorities arrest Conawago and schedule his hanging. As Duncan begins a desperate search for the truth, he finds himself in a maelstrom of deception and violence. The year is 1760, and while the British army wishes to dismiss the killing as another casualty of its war with France, Duncan discovers a pattern of ritualistic murders related to provincial treaty negotiations and struggles between tribal factions. Ultimately he realizes that to find justice, he must brave the sprawling colonial capital of Philadelphia. There the answers are to be found in a tangle of Quakers, Christian Indians, and a scientist obsessed with the electrical experiments of the celebrated Dr. Franklin. With the tragic resolution in sight, Duncan understands the real mysteries underlying his quest lie in the hearts of natives who, like his Highland Scots, have glimpsed the end of their world approaching. “The pleasures of Eliot Pattison’s books, and Eye of the Raven is another smashing example, are threefold: high adventure in perilous landscapes, a hero stubbornly seeking the truth, and the haunting mysteries of ancient cultures.” —Otto Penzler, editor of The Big Book of Female Detectives
