HODGSON ANTONIA THE RAVEN SCHOLAR

She might win the throne. She might destroy an empire. Either way  it begins with murder.  
After twenty-four years on the throne  it is time for Bersun the Brusque  emperor of Orrun  to
bring his reign to an end. In the dizzying heat of mid-summer  seven contenders will compete to
replace him.  Trained at rival monasteries  each contender is inspired by a sacred animal - Fox
Raven  Tiger  Ox  Bear  Monkey  and Hound. An eighth - the Dragon proxy - will be revealed only
once the trials have begun. Eight exceptional warriors  thinkers  strategists - the best of the
best.  Then one of them is murdered.  It falls to the brilliant but idiosyncratic Neema Kraa to
investigate. But as she hunts for a killer  darker forces are gathering.  If Neema succeeds 
she could win the throne - whether she wants it or not. But if she fails  she will sentence
herself to death - and set in motion a sequence of events that could doom the empire . . .
