Arayon

Name: Arayon Araqan

Age: 916 years

Origin: Rubinburgh, Rayan​

House: Arayona

Mistress: Azana Azona

Rank: Raji’Draq Swordmaster / Blood Blade Commander

Weapons: Rajakhan, Radakhan

Animalis: Dragon Blood / Blood Raven

​As male cousin of Rayan’s matriarch, Arayon might not be heir to the throne, but his royal ancestry is undisputed nonetheless. The Lord of the Draq’Enar and founder of the Raji’Draq is a true son of the dragon. And nobody has mastered the dragon blood animalis to such perfection as the Blood Blade commander.

His entire life, he has studied the martial arts of Araqan, the Rayonaigh’s legendary progenitor. Unmatched is his blade dance among the Raji’Draq. Rajakhan and Radakhan, his duel blades, are said to tear through an opponent’s flesh like the fangs of a blood dragon. With a well-balanced fighting technique, combining feral force and animalistic accuracy, facing him in combat could easily become a death sentence for an inexperienced warrior.

Furthermore, the Blood Blade commander is known as secret head of military, although this title officially is held by the matriarch’s twin brother, his cousin Aaron. Not only is Arayon a master of reconnaissance, he also shows exceptional qualities as a leader in battle. ​Those, who train in his arena, either rise to the challenge or face painful defeat. Only the most resilient he tolerates as aspirants in his order.

​Nothing about Arayon is perceived as gentle by strangers. Just one knows his sensitive side. His letters to her reveal that his passion is not exclusively reserved for combat but also for poetry and the cunning seduction of his favourite… prey…​​

“My arena sifts the wheat from chaff. And maybe your head from your shoulders too, if you don’t get out of my sight right now.”

Sign of the Raven: Release Trailer

“Sign of the Raven absolutely delivers on immersive, high fantasy world-building in a way that demands your full attention …. and honestly…. I loved that. This is not a “skim and vibe” kind of fantasy. You have to settle in, pay attention, and let the world unfold around you piece by piece. And once it does? It’s incredibly rewarding.”

—Betsy

Character Portrait: Radu

“Sign of the Raven” by Brynn Danu is a dark epic fantasy novel rooted in blood, inheritance, and perilous magic that scars not only the land, but the souls bound to it. The story unfolds with a purposeful pace, allowing power, violence, and consequence to shape the narrative as much as prophecy and fate

“From the very first chapter, I felt dropped into a layered, living world filled with ancient lore, political tension, shifting alliances, and magic that feels both dangerous and deliberate.
