In the darkness of the pitThe light shines brightest
Drums summon the chieftain’s powerful son to slay a man in cold blood and thereby earn his place among the warriors. But instead of glory, he earns the name Draven, “Coward.” When the men of his tribe march off to war, Draven remains behind with the women and his shame. Only fearless but crippled Ita values her brother’s honor.
The warriors return from battle victorious yet trailing a curse in their wake. One by one the strong and the weak of the tribe fall prey to an illness of supernatural power. The secret source of this evil can be found and destroyed by only the bravest heart.
But when the curse attacks the one Draven loves most, can this coward find the courage he needs to face the darkness?

4.5- That was beautiful!Intense and HeartwarmingA very gripping tale about the power of light over the darkness. This could have easily been a full length novel. I would have loved more time with Draven. The alternating timeline was surprisingly easy to follow and I enjoyed both perspectives equally. I also loved spending time with the Brothers. This story is appropriate for young adults and older, although some intermediate readers might enjoy it as well.
4.5 stars
Review coming as soon as I have time to get my thoughts together.Edit 04/2016: Obviously, I've let this review sit long enough. Truth is, this story, though short, affected me so deeply, I can't get my thoughts together enough to express my true feelings about it, even four months later. Draven's Light is a story of love and self-sacrifice in their purest and most beautiful forms. I cried so much.Just read it, ok? And bring tissues.

I didn't like it at first, but by 50%, I was hooked.Draven was a complex character. He had simple cares, complicated worries, and perpetual conflict. This book showed so much conflict. So much happened. I loved how it represented Draven's internal conflict. He had decided not to kill, but then his village
This is the first book that I have read by Anne Elizabeth Stengl so I did not know what to expect. I really enjoyed what I got though. It is one of those books that kept me wanting to know what happens next so badly that I start skipping bits and then having to force myself to read through it properly. Dravens Light is a tale within a tale, words mix together and weave an intricate story. It is like a folktale and is dark in places, but the darkness contrasts wonderfully to the light. Lovely
