My rating: 5 of 5 stars
summary from Goodreads
Once upon a time…
A curse can only be broken by luck or an impossible feat, and Aisling has tried numerous impossible feats. Every morning she changes into a swan. Every dusk she has a few moments with the man she loves, only to watch him forced into the form of a raven by the same curse.
When it becomes clear the curse is directly connected with an ancient, awakening evil, she sets off into the depths of Underhill to find answers. Unfortunately, this is a journey that must be made alone.
Bran refuses to believe there isn't another way. Split off from his queen, he joins forces with the Seelie Fae and the Druids. Darkness spreads throughout the Raven Kingdom. Both king and queen fight to protect their people, their home, and the love they have for each other.

REVIEW
Ah, the beauty of retellings! The Raven's ballad delivers a satisfying ending to angst, curses and creates new dynamics in this world I have grown so much fond of! I loved Bran and Aisling as they navigate through politics and curses, old powers and hidden enemies.
Not to mention that Emma Hamm has so much in store for her secondary characters! I so love also the mix between fairy tales and Irish mythology. They are combined SO WELL you don't find anything amiss! And the ending? Boy I would want a book about that baby too if the author gets the chance and write one!
Very entertaining and highly recommended!
About the author:
Choosing to write a book was one of the hardest and easiest things I have ever done. I wrote my first book because I had hit a wall. Writing with friends had no longer satisfied my need to create, and I worried that if I didn’t try to write a book I never would. Suddenly, within a year of working on a Beauty and the Beast inspired story, I was a self published author.
I am inspired by the works of authors like Clive Barker, Mark Danielewski, Patricia Briggs, Clare B. Dunkle, and so many more. This site is meant to be a connection between me, the people who read my books, and the people who I admire. You may post on anything that I post on this site and I will enjoy hearing from you!
Thank you all for your support, love, and kindness.
