Christian fantasy
Mark of the Raven
Lady Selene inherits House Ravenwood's secret gift of dreamwalking, which allows her to enter minds and manipulate a sleeper's deepest fears and desires. Her mother teaches her that the family's power has long been used to kill, then orders Selene to assassinate Lord Damien Maris, a leader who may be able to unite the divided great houses. Protecting her people appears to demand obedience, yet discovering the true nature of her gift forces her to question the legacy she is expected to preserve. Darkly imaginative and faith-inflected, this fantasy suits readers who enjoy political intrigue, morally conflicted heroines, hidden powers, slow-building romance, and struggles between inherited duty and conscience.
