Why Read This?The one-sentence sell. What do you get for showing up to this book, even when it's hard?

The slowest, most agonizing burn in the series pays off with devastating emotional depth. Gordo and Mark have years of history, betrayal, and unspoken longing between them, and Klune makes you feel every single moment.

Synopsis

Ravensong is the second book in the Green Creek Series, the beloved fantasy romance sensation by New York Times bestselling author TJ Klune, about love, loyalty, betrayal, and family. “Complex and startling... Green Creek is the perfect setting.” —Charlaine Harris The Bennett family has a secret: They're not just a family, they're a pack. Ravensong is Gordo Livingstone's story. Gordo Livingstone never forgot the lessons carved into his skin. Hardened by the betrayal of a pack that left him behind, he sought solace in the garage in his tiny mountain town, vowing never again to involve himself in the affairs of wolves. It should have been enough. It was, until the wolves came back, and with them, Mark Bennett. And when his town is caught in the jaws of a beast, Gordo is summoned back into the life that left him. “Gordo, you must rise. For your pack. For us. I must ask you to become the witch to the wolves.” Now, a year later, Gordo has once again found himself the witch of the Bennett pack. Green Creek has settled after the death of Richard Collins, and Gordo constantly struggles to ignore Mark and the song that howls between them. But time is running out. Something is coming. And this time, it’s coming from within. The Green Creek Series is for adult readers. Now available from Tor Books.

At a Glance

Ravensong takes everything that made Wolfsong special and filters it through a harder, angrier lens. Gordo is a man carved out by abandonment, and watching his walls crack under the weight of Mark Bennett is genuinely painful in the best way. The pack dynamics are richer here, the stakes higher, and when the emotional dam finally breaks, you will not be okay. This is slow burn as a contact sport.
