The Raven Naelo Saga Continues with "Mortal Guardian--Into the Inferno" on the Sunbury Press Books Show

October 10, 2025

The Mortal Guardians are preparing for war, but for Raven Naelo, this battle is personal. A necromancer has taken a fellow Guardian captive, and stolen the corpse of Raven's sister.

Raven's rescue mission is underway, but it's going wrong. In a world where allies are scarce and the enemy is at hand, Raven's magic has now become erratic, even dangerous.

Raven must decide whether to deal with the monsters she swore to destroy, while the reality of her past and truths she has tried to forget inch ever closer. The Abyss Realm awaits as Raven and a crew of pirates, bounty hunters and Draakgoons descend "Into the Inferno," the sequel to "Arcane Assassin--Path of Annihilation." Both of these are available through the Hellbender Books imprint.

R.A. Fischer is in fact two people: Rachel Ann Fischer and Ann-Marie Knorr-Fischer, the latter of whom appears in this edition of the Sunbury Press Books Show. Rachel Ann is an Army veteran with a background in Auto-Cad and Interior Design, and her creativity was spurred by fantasy and role-playing games. Ann-Marie has been a writer of short stories and poems since childhood, which includes work for school literary publications, film scripts plus direction and production of plays.

They live in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania.
