The Harp and the Raven
(2026)(The third book in the Legends of Ansu: Dream of Legends series)
A novel by J W Webb
Dawn of Ansu 2: Darkness Falls…
Enter an age of war and witchery, where gods and demons rage and ruin. Three lost souls seek a way through the storm to find sanctuary in a hidden realm beyond. Only two gatekeepers know the path—but who can be trusted: the Harp or the Raven?
Casmadian, a wealthy merchant’s son, enjoys a carefree life in Xenn City until he attends the Emperor’s annual Games and notices two striking, mysterious women. Lady Lacewing bears the banner of the harp. Lady Nightshade favors the raven. Something about them unsettles him. Where did they come from, and why the tremor in his soul?
Half a world away, Galan of Caranaxis, a dreamer and wanderer, witnesses a falling star and takes it as a divine sign that the mythic realm he seeks truly exists. That night, he encounters two volatile strangers and a wandering tinker. Against his better judgment, Galan accepts a challenge to journey with them into the forbidden forest in search of the Oracle of Elanion, the feared Witch Queen of the Faen.
Back at the arena, the fierce gladiator Daxmei dreams of freedom. A crowd favorite, she wields her trident and net with deadly skill and dazzling flair. Meanwhile, in Spagos, battle-weary Cazan returns home after years on the front lines, only to discover that war has arrived before him.
This forthcoming Ansu legend, Harp, unfolds five hundred years after the series prequel Archer’s Moon. If you love myth and magic, rich world-building, sharp dialogue, and gripping action, you’ll be captivated by J.W. Webb’s mysterious and dazzling new epic.
Genre: Fantasy
