The Seventh Raven

Jack and Jane have seven sons. The first son was called Jack, and so was the second, and the third, fourth, fifth, and sixth son. The seventh son, however, was named Robyn. Somehow they knew, that in his heart, Robyn would be different. While Jack and Jane were blessed with so many sons, each day, they both fell to their knees and prayed for a daughter. Until the day their prayers were answered, only to be taken away. At a moment of frustration and heartache, Jack cursed his sons. In an instant, all seven sons transformed into seven incredible ravens, and in their place, they left behind a sister.

All her life April knew there was a secret, and in a moment of anger, she sets out on a journey of discovery, transformation, and change.

In a beautiful retelling of The Seven Ravens by Brother’s Grimm, The Seventh Raven captures its readers’ hearts with heartfelt poetic verse. Telling a story of unforeseen consequences and the journey one sister will go through to save her brothers. David Elliot artfully captures the story’s true message and delivers it through the unique voice of poetic verse.
