THE BLACK RAVEN SAGA
Synopsis
Beneath the neon haze and rotting bones of a city choking on its own secrets, a myth hunts in the dark. She is called The Black Raven — part urban legend, part nightmare — feathers for shadows, talons for mercy. But behind the mask, she is Selene Arlen: a broken daughter, a night-shift morgue tech, a woman balancing grief, rage, and the fragile lies she tells to stay human.
When her father was murdered by the hidden criminal empire called The Flock, Selene buried her name alongside him and stitched wings from vengeance and steel. By day, she scrubs blood from cold slabs and jokes with friends she cannot truly keep. By night, she glides across rooftops, carving corruption from the city’s veins — one predator at a time.
But justice never comes clean. A sadistic serial killer — The Surgeon — slices the city open for his own twisted cure, forcing The Raven to step from the shadows and into a war she can’t fight alone. Her victories draw new monsters: the elusive King Crow, the mastermind of The Flock, who weaves traps that turn her own mask into bait. On her trail stalks Detective Ward, a weary cop who hates vigilantes as much as he hates what they reveal about a broken justice system he can’t fix.
As Selene’s secrets bleed into her waking life, she risks losing the fragile pieces that keep her human — her loyal but nosy coworker Jess, her unraveling romance with Evan, and the only man who knows her true face: Micah Torres, the sarcastic tech ghost who arms her wings but cannot mend her wounds.
Each hunt costs her more. Each rescue fails to heal the city’s rot. And as The Flock sharpens its claws in the dark, The Raven must choose — how many feathers must she shed before she’s just another monster with blood on her hands?
