For over two decades, the ravens of the Tower of London have guarded the city’s fate under the watchful eye of the Ravenmaster. In this candid memoir, readers glimpse the daily routines—from sourcing raw meat at Smithfield Market to feeding biscuits soaked in blood—and discover the unique intelligence and personalities of these storied birds.

Through vivid storytelling, the author shares centuries of folklore, superstition, and royal tradition that surround the Tower’s feathered sentinels. Readers will learn about raven social hierarchies, surprising tricks, and the deep bond between keeper and corvid.

Combining history, natural behavior, and personal anecdotes, this narrative offers a fresh perspective on one of Britain’s most iconic landmarks and the birds that guard it.
