Jemma and the Raven

Prepare for a luminous adventure in this highly original young adult epic fantasy novel by debut author B. D. Reeves. The Wishing Shelf Book Awards finalist, 2023.

To everyone else, Jemma is nothing but a Wharf-thief. She scavenges for tokens in the wrestling dens and parades along the market lanes with a raven, Edgar, on her shoulder. But she and Edgar have a secret. In a land where memories fade into the Shadows without the love of a Keeper, they scour the ruins of ancient memory palaces, searching for treasure that will buy them a passage to the great city of Adocentyn. When Jemma steals a map and a golden blade, she sets in motion a chain of events that will tie her destiny to the survival of all who live in the light of Memory. Can Jemma defeat the darkness she has unleashed, without losing herself? And who is the voice she hears, guiding her along the way? 'I am with you. Follow the lights.'

'Jemma and the Raven is a massive feat of storytelling, a work of fabulous imagination, a fantasy inspired by historical realities. It will convey its readers on an epic journey that will both captivate and exhilarate them.' ARNOLD ZABLE, storyteller and novelist.

'The relationship between Jemma and Edgar is endearing...the pair's mutual loyalty never wavers. A compelling multi-species cast fuels a labyrinthine plot.' KIRKUS REVIEWS

'This is a beautiful ride through memory, time and a lost world. Jemma and her raven buddy Edgar are characters to take to your heart.' ROSE HARTLEY, author.
