An Unkindness of Ravens was a first novel by Lucas Scott. The book was a major success and garnered Lucas widespread recognition as an accomplished author. The first person Lucas presented a copy of his book to was classmate Glenda Farrell, followed shortly thereafter by Peyton Sawyer and the rest of his friends. However, it is also possible that his mother, Karen Roe, was the first to discover the book, as she had an edition bound as a graduation present for him.
