Flock
Kate Stewart launched The Ravenhood on 27 July 2020 with Flock, a 354-page opening novel telling the tangled, years-spanning love triangle between childhood best friends Aria, Grif and Sean from Aria's perspective, shadowed by New Orleans's organised-crime underworld.

Exodus
Exodus followed just four days later, on 31 July 2020, at 450 pages -- nearly 100 pages longer than Flock -- retelling the same overlapping events from a different narrator's point of view, part of the trilogy's unusual structure.

About The Ravenhood
The Ravenhood is Kate Stewart's saga of three childhood best friends — Aria, Grif and Sean — whose bond curdles into a tangled, years-spanning love triangle shadowed by an organised-crime underworld in New Orleans. The original trilogy tells the same overlapping years from each character's perspective rather than a single linear timeline, which is unusual for the genre and part of why it built such a devoted following: you get the same betrayals and turning points recoloured by whoever's narrating. It's dark, literary-leaning contemporary romance with morally grey characters, addiction and grief woven through the central love story, not a light read despite the crime-family gloss.
The Ravenhood Legacy trilogy is a direct spin-off that picks up a new generation's story after the original trilogy ends, following characters connected to the first three books (starting with Dominic, a figure from the Ravenhood's world) rather than repeating Aria, Grif and Sean's story. Together the two trilogies form a six-book saga usually discussed as one continuous "Ravenhood universe."
Frequently asked questions
How many books are in The Ravenhood series?
Six in total: the original trilogy (Flock, Exodus, The Finish Line) plus the Ravenhood Legacy spin-off trilogy (One Last Rainy Day, Severed Heart, Birds of a Feather).
What order should I read The Ravenhood in?
Flock, Exodus, The Finish Line (the original trilogy, in that series-numbered order), then One Last Rainy Day, Severed Heart, Birds of a Feather (the Ravenhood Legacy spin-off trilogy).
Is Ravenhood Legacy a new series or part of The Ravenhood?
It's a direct spin-off trilogy that continues the Ravenhood world with a new central story; Goodreads and the author both treat it as a distinct-but-connected series, which is why it's grouped here alongside the original trilogy.
Is The Ravenhood finished?
Yes. Both trilogies are complete: the original ended with The Finish Line (2021) and Ravenhood Legacy ended with Birds of a Feather (2026).
Do I need to read the original Ravenhood trilogy before Ravenhood Legacy?
It's strongly recommended. Ravenhood Legacy is written as a spin-off that assumes familiarity with the original trilogy's characters and history.
