title: The Priestess and the Ravenknight (World of Tiaera) (Volume 1)
author:  E V Medina 
description: This book is a prequel to my first book (a collaborative epic written with Jack Shepherd) entitled <i>Realmwalkers</i>. After <i>Realmwalkers</i> was completed, the epic inspired me to write a story about dark elves set on the same fictional world. This romantic novella is from the viewpoint of a daring ravenknight torn between his waning faith in an unseen goddess and his military duty under the new ruling god. Some of the words, spellings and capitalization used throughout this book are intentionally not consistent with modern English usage in order to reflect the character's dialects and accents.
