If you've made it this far through the Chronicles of the Cheysuli, you're bound to like Flight of the Raven. It tells the story of Aidan, eventual heir to the Lion Throne, and sufferer of strange, portentious dreams.

Aidan has a most unusual lir, a raven. As a lir, the raven is most difficult and arrogant to deal with. Combine a difficult lir with dreams that he will be the one to break the chain of Mujhars and fail the prophecy, Aidan has a terrible time dealing with what he believes must be his future.

But the time comes when he must claim his betrothed. He sets out, but undergoes many spiritual challenges and visits from various gods. He is given golden links, the same as the ones that shatter in his dreams, with each visit.

As with any Cheysuli so important to the prophecy, he gets a great deal of attention from the Ihlini. They are determined to destroy him and the prophecy, sensing a weak link.

Aidan is a very well developed character. It's an interesting insight into Cheysuli culture and spiritual life not seen so clearly in the other books of the series.
