Call of the Raven

Summary

The son of a wealthy plantation owner and a doting mother, Mungo St. John is accustomed to the wealth and luxuries his privilege has afforded him—that is until he returns from university to discover his family ruined, his inheritance stolen, and his childhood sweetheart, Camilla, taken by the conniving Chester Marion. Fueled by anger and love, Mungo swears vengeance and devotes his life to saving Camilla and destroying Chester.

Camilla, trapped in New Orleans, powerless in her position as a kept slave, and suffering at the hands of Chester’s brutish behavior, must learn to do whatever it takes to survive.

As Mungo battles his own fate and misfortune to achieve the revenge that drives him and regain his power in the world, he must question what it takes for a man to survive when he has nothing and what he is willing to do in order to get what he wants.

An action-packed and gripping adventure by bestselling author Wilbur Smith about one man’s quest for revenge, the brutality of slavery in America, and the imbalance between humans that can drive us—or defeat us.
