Death Of A Raven (Part 1)  (Paperback, Aditya Khari)

Seventeen-year-old Avya's move to RavenCliff, California, thrusts her into a nightmare that's been brewing since 1757. The town is cursed after the brutal burning of Eliza and Philip, and now, the horrors of the past have returned with a vengeance. As Avya tries to navigate her new life, she's ensnared in a web of terror: serial killers, cannibals, and demonic entities prey upon the town's inhabitants. Murders happen nightly, and chaos reigns as the town teeters on the brink of extinction. The phoenix tree, a grotesque symbol of the curse, continuously burns and regenerates, embodying the endless cycle of death. With her mother, Ekta, struggling as the mayor amidst dark conspiracies, Avya must confront the growing darkness and uncover the truth before RavenCliff is consumed by the malevolent forces. Will she find a way to break the curse, or will she succumb to the city's nightmarish fate?
