當一位只能預見死亡的少女,在家族民宿中遇上了渴望為已逝家人尋仇的少年……

13歲少女安娜貝拉.巴林坎(Annabella Ballinkay)從沒被視為一個正常人,即便以她通靈家族的標準看來。不像其他魔力高超的家族成員,安娜貝拉沒能用她的魔法經營他們的家族民宿「雷文弗爾」(Ravenfall)——一間古怪神秘,帶著一點迷人色彩的住所——畢竟她唯一的超能力,只有預見死亡。

但也因此,當14歲少年柯林.皮爾(Colin Pierce)初到雷文弗爾,亟欲尋找殺害他弟弟的兇手,安娜貝拉趕緊上前去幫忙。然而他們將會發現,柯林弟弟的慘案,並不是他們眼前唯一的謎團。隨著兩人的探索,柯林發現自己擁有比想像中更驚人的魔力與家族史:他隸屬斯卡斯(Scaths)後裔,這是一群守護異世界面紗的超自然守衛者,而一位神秘的殺手正企圖獵殺他們。

伴隨越來越多斯卡斯被謀殺,異世界的面紗也會變得越來越薄,此時的安娜貝拉與柯林必須爭取時間,努力找到背後的主使者,在一切陷入混亂以前,還給人類世界一個寧靜。

" Ravenfall is an utterly enchanting read packed with imaginative magic and folklore, a creeping sense that something wicked is coming, and a vibrant, endearing cast of characters you'll root for every step of the way. Settle in with a full mug of hot cider and a cozy blanket: you won't want to put Ravenfall down."—Tracy Badua, author of Freddie vs. the Family Curse

"A wonderfully bewitching tale of magic, grief, and the power of friendship. Josephson weaves a fantastical story you'll never want to leave, full of memorable characters, a heart-pounding mystery, and a sentient inn that will make you wish you could book a room of your own for next Samhain."—Alexandra Overy, author of These Feathered Flames

"As cozy as a warm cup of tea in the middle of a graveyard at midnight on Halloween. Don’t you dare sleep on this story—or its truly excellent black cat."—Alyssa Colman, author of The Gilded Girl
