The Crow Road Book Novels & Stories

But you couldn’t overlook the front entrance. A big black crow with spread wings was on the golden door - one wing on the left part, the other one on the right. It made you think it was the entrance to another mysterious world. So visible even at night - the golden light lit it up from the back. It seemed to be burning with vivid flames of eternal destruction.

He sat down and put his hands over his headphones. Damian stood up. He drew his gun. I drew mine. We walked into the circle. "Alpha Sinclair," The Crow said. His voice was smooth, melodic. It didn't sound like a villain's voice. It sounded like a priest's. "And the Mother. You have finally arrived." "Step away from the altar," Damian ordered, leveling his weapon at The Crow’s chest. "We are here for the cure. Not a fight." "There is no cure for what he is," The Crow said sadly. "Only a release." He gestured to the altar. It was carved with runnels for blood. "The boy is an Abomination, Damian. He is a breach in the natural order. The Prime blood was meant to die out for a reason. It is too v

Sure enough, Carl, who was tired of drinking tea over there, stood up, looked at the glass lamp he had saved up so hard for, and with a touch of his fingertip, shattered it. He looked up, his gaze falling on the deepest part of the cave, his handsome profile indifferent, surrounded by black mist that kept people away, as if he were a god: "You go, put those lost souls back." "Yes, master," the crow, finally able to move, flapped its wings and was about to take off. Three people walked out from the continuous rain over there. The crow recognized Elijah at a glance. It glanced at its master, then flew up without waiting for orders, concealing its own breath.

With me. I closed the book and walked to my window, looking out at the forest where their precious gate was hidden. A black crow sat on the fence post, its eyes like twin obsidian moons. It didn't blink as it stared at me. I stared back. "He's mine," I whispered. The crow cawed once, a sound like broken glass, then flew away toward the cursed woods. Somewhere out there, in a clearing where trees grew upside down, was the key to keeping Ronan in my world. I had less than twenty-four hours to prepare. Less than a day to gather the materials I would need, to plan my approach, to make sure everything went perfectly.

I hung up and ditched the SIM card down the drain. The manager flashed me a grin and a thumbs-up. "Kid, you're all right." I cracked a smile, grabbed my tray, and got back to work. Every step was agony, my foot screaming with each move, but I pushed through. My sweat was not just sweat; it was the essence of freedom. At ten, my shift ended, and I ducked into the storeroom, poring over "C Language Programming" by the glow of the emergency light. Then the letter came: my ticket to Camford. Teacher James snagged it from the courier, snapped a picture, and sent it my way, all on the sly.

Ash grumbles, “So, fucking wrong.” Crow nods, “Not disagreeing.” He frowns, “I need to do some research to be sure, but there is some magic that he could be attemptin’. I don’t want to say until I’m sure mind. But if I’m right, it would be very bad for everyone.” Crow looks worried, but pulls out a book and writes a note in it. He stares at the page for a while, then sighs and closes the book. “I’ll let you know when I have any answers though, Darlin’.” She furrows her brow,

Hopping the answer would be yes, I flipped to the introduction, the much-needed hope fluttering in my chest as I read. “From their temple origins to their violent renaissance in the Bloody War that birthed Henosis, Crowns of Shame have a complex past mixed with hope and cruelty alike. Despite its variety of intents and shapes, one thing remains the same throughout its history: the scar-tissue that defines it.” I flipped through the book, deterred by the word “scar-tissue”. I stopped at a page with a grotesque image of a man on his knees as someone carved a line across his forehead.

"I know you are going to the hidden land of the Fire Wolf to be given some powers to defeat the Hybrid king and safe your mothers" They weren't surprised when the bat spoke such words. "But what the book failed to mention is that there are no road here. You are at the last road. I am the last road". "That's a lie, the book said, if we pass you, then we have gotten to the hidden land". Rava said. The bat gave out a hideous laugh and the cave shook. "Well there is a way after all". The bat lifted one of his paws. While the rest of its body were solid black it's right paws were white. And they were larger.

It had a black thick leather cover and a golden seal on its top. “The Crow.” Lelia said, and a book with a bright red cover appeared in her palms. She turned to a page where the history and image of the crow was shown. Janeka got her mind back to why they were here and what they were going to defeat. “I see your mind is caught up with the black book.” Lelia said, chewing her lips. “That's what we want, isn't it?” Janeka said.

Dozens of them hung from the branches on both sides of the road, tied by their feet with thin silver thread. Their black wings turned slowly in the rain. Like ornaments. Like warnings. At the center of the road, painted in blood across the asphalt, was the same crown-and-claw symbol. Damien stopped the truck. The engine idled. The trees leaned close. Then every dead crow opened its eyes.
