Call me a degenerate, but I really enjoy Raven Guard audio books. Somehow being deprived of relevant visual support and listening makes it more immersive when the story's about a Chapter that sticks to the shadows. Here's to hoping it will be something of the sort.

King Of Crows?

or

Deliverance Lost audio book?

Those are my guesses.

Pretty sure King of Crows is a book/short about Sevatar of the Nightlords and is written by ADB. I don't think the raven guard are involved at all it's just Sevatar's nickname/title. However, I may be wrong so feel free to correct me.

I'm sure you're right. I hadn't looked into it at all.

Well, the video says nothing about King Of Crows, so that could be unrelated. I just know A D-B is working on King Of Crows and thought this might be related.

I like how the video is called "The Unkindness Of Ravens". That makes me giggle in appreciation.

Pretty sure ADB's novella is Prince of Crows, not King.

It's called "Prey" and is an audio short story.

As indicated by a comment on their post about the short story, this is NOT what the teaser trailer was about. There was a date on there: May 7th, and it isn't the seventh yet. This is merely another thing to whet our appetites.

Oh, well, here we go.
It's actually CALLED The Unkindess Of Ravens

Prey was apparently unrelated to the "mystery".

Unkindness isn't an audiobook, but Prey is.
Unkindness is a special edition novella+illustrated short story with a black cover, glossy black Raven Guard symbol, black edged paper, black etc, black etc, blacker than the blackest black times infinity.

Actually, black paper with white lettering would be pretty awesome for a Raven Guard book :(

Ha, I see it's up on the Black Library website now for $70 Australian (ie. $72 US or 45 pounds). For a novella. You can only laugh. I'm sure it's a wonderful product that some fans will like at that price, and I guess they sell all these limited edition novellas otherwise they wouldn't be doing another one, but, yeah, wow. Won't be reading it for a couple of years when they hopefully re-release it at a normal price.

Hahahahahahahahahaha! $72US for a book? Yeah no. If it was $30US like Aurelian, I'd consider it, especially since orders over $25US now have free basic shipping. But $70? Sorry, I have life altering things I can spend that on. Like gas so I can go to my technical school so I don't get kicked out for attendance fail.

EDIT(avoiding double post): I just looked it up on the BL website. Man, Australia you are getting screwed. Because it is only $50US.

Ah yes, the traditional GW/BL 50% mark up on stuff, just cause it's being sold to people in Australia. They do it on the models, they do it on the books too apparently.
