ARKA AND THE SHADOW OF THE BLACK RAVEN

ARKA AND THE SHADOW OF THE BLACK RAVEN

A mysterious train. A stolen secret. An enemy who knows his name.

Mistvale is finally warm again. For twelve-year-old Arka, life in the clock tower promises something unfamiliar: a home.

Then a witness dies inside a locked cell, and a night train arrives carrying Lady Vespera—a mysterious aristocrat with a mechanical raven on her arm.

She claims she has come to protect the town. But the Order of the Black Raven is hunting an ancient instrument that only Arka can awaken: the Obsidian Lens.

Together with Maya, a brilliant young mechanic, and Inspector Vance, Arka must navigate abandoned railway tunnels, uncover a hidden betrayal, and defend the clock tower from an enemy who turns shadows into blades.

The Lens can reveal invisible connections. It cannot tell him whom to trust.

And the most dangerous secret may be the one his grandfather kept about him.

Arka and the Shadow of the Black Raven is the second illustrated adventure in The Gaslight Mysteries, following Arka and the Stolen Heart of Mistvale. Enter a world of clockwork creatures, hidden magic, and friendships tested by secrets.
