Lady Raven and The Black Wedding

A dark, gothic fantasy of corrupted magic, fractured family, and the perilous cost of power.

In Lady Raven and The Black Wedding, heart-wrenching storyteller J.J Mercury weaves a dark, gothic fantasy where faith and ruin intertwine. Set in the haunted heart of Detroit, this novel explores corrupted magic, fractured family, and the perilous line between salvation and damnation.

If you are looking for an exceptional writer, this is your author. His word choices are clever, beautiful, and even funny. His use of alliteration and metaphors really makes the story sing. The characters are deep and well fleshed out, even the secondary ones.
This story is set in urban Detroit, and the author seems familiar with it. There’s human trafficking, a drug lord, and a bit of magical realism. I loved it!

“Inessa is a game-changer. Her musical talent completely redefines magic for the modern world. Forget mindless fireballs and air-vortexes, that’s not what magic is. Inessa is magic incarnate, and with every note that comes from her dangerous tongue, you’ll be more and more spellbound.”
