His brain destroyed by epilepsy and his body wracked with Stevens-Johnson syndrome, an author sits down to pen his last book.

It's a tale of Rains-a-Lot, the warrior who ate Thomas Custer's heart; Ivy d' Seille, a child soldier and veteran of the French Resistance; Dr. Kelle Brainerd, holder of three Ph.D.s in Reality Physics; and a purple 1957 Chevy concealing the spirit of a New Orleans Macumba from the 19th century as they run into a wizard, a shadowy Company, and a whole bunch of ravens.

But no story is just a story, and our author isn't just an author.

The reviewers are raving about the War of the Ravens series.
