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.
