I read “Lost Souls” last summer and really enjoyed it. Ghost particularly stole my heart, so I had to make a little mood board for him.

Raven - Vivid Shadows 2024

"The Odo Sedoh dreamed, and in his dreams, he was legion. He was black-winged murder flying over a vast sea. He was the bloodthirsty havoc of beak and talon. He was the stately flock that wheeled over a city stained by injustice. He became the shout of a thousand prayers on a thousand lips. He became a prophecy of revenge. He became the blossoming shadow that engulfed a sun. He was Crow who then became the slaughter"

from 'Between Earth and Sky' saga by Rebecca Roanhorse

“So in this letter I am yours. Not Garden’s, not your mission’s, but yours, alone. I am yours in other ways as well: yours as I watch the world for your signs, apophenic as a haruspex; yours as I debate methods, motives, chances of delivery; yours as I review your words by their sequence, their sound, smell, taste, taking care no one memory of them becomes too worn. Yours.”

“All stories are recycled and all stories are unfair. Many get luck, and many get misery. Many are born to homes with books, many grow up in the swamps of war. In the end, all becomes dust. All stories conclude with a fade to black.”

“Once you have seen your own face and recognized the color of your eyes, tasted the air and smelled the soil, drunk from the purest fountains and the dirtiest wells, that is the kindest thing you can say about life. It’s not nothing.”

“What’s it like, having a sister? I never had any siblings.” Lettle looked at Yeeran ahead of them and barked out a laugh. “It’s terrible!” This drew a small smile from Rayan, but it wasn’t enough. “But it’s also like…” she searched for a metaphor he’d understand, “it’s like wearing a shield. It’s heavy to carry, but it protects the most precious parts of you. I love Yeeran more than anything.” ― Saara El-Arifi, Faebound
