Resumen del Editor

Why don't more 60-something-year-olds get to have fun magical adventures?

Delia Spark is caught in a maelstrom. Her former life as a London theatre director is on the brink of implosion amid a scandalous divorce, a tarnished reputation, and, for reasons she cannot fathom, things keep spontaneously combusting around her. Her sixties were supposed to be peaceful, but now even her grown daughter won't return her calls. Escape is the only option.

In the remote village of Myrtlewood, she seeks solace, not suspecting that in this quaint haven, far stranger adventures await than the urban chaos she left behind. Delia is oblivious to the undercurrent that her arrival stirs. Amid whispers of magic, she finds herself on the precipice of an extraordinary transformation.

As she grapples with these new realities, an ominous shadow lurks—a secret Order steeped in ancient lore is watching, plotting, and scheming. Delia must confront her destiny. Will she surrender to the enchanting pull of Myrtlewood and the ancient prophecies of the elemental crones, or will she claw back her former life from her power-hungry ex?

Welcome to a world where the extraordinary is ordinary, where tranquillity is a veil for the mystical, and where time itself whispers secrets of old served with delicious cakes and cups of tea—or coffee if you insist!

relatable in the current time

I want to be part of this story, what a great idea to bring a story to a current time period with the mystery of old.

My favorite Myrtlewood Story so far!

I’ve been a huge fan of the Myrtlewood series with Rosemary and Athena…although I have had difficulty with the person they have reading the book - I feel like she makes Rosemary seem slow and a bit plodding.
This book was sooo good! Introducing a new legend and new characters to Myrtlewood as well as delving deeper into characters that have already been introduced. The woman reading the book is outstanding, very easy to listen to. Looking forward to the next installment.

Love the story, love the narrator!

This story is read beautifully and the narration adds the perfect voice to all of the characters. This is a delightful, cozy, adventure that I’ve thoroughly enjoyed listening to while knitting and sipping tea.

Wonderful Storytelling

Loved the story and that that characters from the Myrtlewood Mysteries were included. It was hard to not hear the same voices for those characters though. Throughly enjoyed and will listen to the next in the series to see what happens next with the Crones! ❤️📚📖

I loved the first Myrtlewoid series. This one was okay.

This book did not flow like the other series did. Each chapter was a different person instead of the story flowing. I stopped listening a few times but continued because I liked the other series. It did get better. I am not sure I will continue this series. The reader had a great voice and I actually liked her better than the other reader in the first series because the first one made Rosemary’s voice grating. That wore on me. I think the author has good stories to tell . I just hope they flow more like the first series.

Excellent reading

An outstanding reading of the first book in this new series from one of my favorite authors!
