Alice Reed has spent her life building something stable out of chaos.
A career. A routine. A future she can control.
So when a mysterious package arrives from a law firm—addressed to her as the sole heir of a relative she’s never heard of—she does what she does best.
She avoids it.
But some things refuse to be ignored.
A violent storm.
A shadow on her balcony that shouldn’t exist.
A presence that watches from the edges of reality.
And at the center of it all—a gold pendant, ancient and impossibly powerful, tied to a legacy that was never meant to surface.
As the world around her begins to fracture, Alice is pulled into a hidden war woven through myth and memory—one that traces back to the gods themselves.
And she’s not facing it alone.
Beckett has always been the steady constant in her life—the one person she trusts when everything else begins to unravel. But as the truth behind the pendant surfaces, even that connection is tested in ways neither of them is prepared for.
Because something else has taken notice.
Ancient. Unforgiving. And far too interested in her.
Because the stories she thought were legends?
They were never stories.
And whatever has awakened… has been waiting for her.
Now, hunted by forces she doesn’t understand and caught between the life she built and a past she never chose, Alice must uncover the truth behind the pendant before it consumes her life—and everyone in it.
Some inheritances aren’t gifts.
They’re a summons.

Praise for this book
When Alice Reed is left a mysterious pendant, and the legacy that comes with it, by a relative she never met, her life is turned upside down. All of a sudden she has some very powerful enemies out for her blood—but she’s not without resources of her own, including some unexpected allies. But can she stave off the literal end of the world? A LEGACY OF RAVENS by S. Ramsey is a deceptively deep fantasy novel, rich in mythological detail, full of unexpected twists and turns, and both passionately and sweetly romantic. It’s obviously the first novel in a series, as there’s enough unresolved drama for a sequel or two (or more), but it’s a great beginning. Lovers of Norse mythology in particular will enjoy this one—the author has clearly done her homework and has some intriguing takes on old stories.
