Raven Rise
Synopsis
Raven Rise is the ninth and penultimate book in D.J. MacHale's Pendragon series, a sweeping portal-fantasy epic. As Saint Dane's influence spreads across the three Earths, Bobby Pendragon, Patrick Mac, and Alder must race against time to stop him from destroying the balance between the worlds. The plot of this installment is set across all three Earths: on Third Earth, a desperate alliance forms against a rising threat; on Second Earth, a sinister new faction called Ravinia rises to power; and on First Earth, the truth about the flumes' vulnerability is finally laid bare. The tone is adventurous and tense, with a clear good-vs-evil conflict and a cast of loyal allies and formidable enemies. Written for a young adult audience, the story moves at a brisk pace and is of moderate complexity, with a well-developed world and a compelling cast of characters. No romance or romance-adjacent content is depicted; the violence is action-oriented rather than graphic. Raven Rise is a must-read for fans of epic portal fantasy and the entire Pendragon saga.
