Below Forsaken Mountain, a plot is being hatched to overthrow the tyrant king of Trollus, and Marc is the right-hand man of its leader. His involvement is information more than one troll would kill to possess, which is why he must keep it a secret from everyone, even the girl he loves. After accidentally ruining her sister's chance to become queen, Pénélope is given one last opportunity by her father, the Duke d'Angoulême, to make herself useful: she must find proof that the boy she's in love with is conspiring against the crown.

Orphaned as a young child, Mirin O'Malley has been brought up by her grandparents on their isolated, rambling estate Hob's Hallow.

When Mirin's grandfather dies, her grandmother puts in train a plan to restore their glory - but at the price of Mirin's freedom.

Historia
My father called them messengers. He once told me they walked among us and that somewhere in this dark and godless city, there shined a faint sliver of hope. I had only to look for the signs. Well, I’ve spent my whole life investigating the inexplicable and all I've found are the unsettling vestiges of iniquity—the evidence of another world shrouded by the obscure. Purgatory to some, where depravity hides in shadows, and girls like me are little more than delicious bites of temptation. Others call it Nightshade.

Enchanting!
What a fabulously well-written story, not a dullnor disconnected moment from beginning to end. Middle grade book it may be but nothing juvenile about it. Interesting, intelligent characters, engrossing stories, myraid emotions, all interwoven with magic, mystery, and adventure. And all without any overbearing romance and drama to be found in adult fiction. The narration was completely up to the mark and carried the story and all characters well. Looking forward to listening to more from Michelle Harrison.

A Pinch of Brilliance
I'm very hit-or-miss with middle grade books, and I can never tell which way I'm going to go. I loved this one, and I think it's partially because it's older middle grade, almost reaching into YA. But it's also because the characters are interesting, the story is well told, and it's effortlessly feminist. The narrator does a great job as well.

A mixed bag
Good pacing, lively dialog, simple action - all the ingredients for a good story, from an accomplished author.
When you are young, Mother is dead, Dad is in jail, and Grandma is a pain, what to do? Be heroically plucky. Sneak into your grandmother's room to see if she is lying to you, then lie to her and steal her bag. As the narrator says, nobody is fully good or bad. And when someone else lies to you, get all huffy. Also, bewitching others will teach them to respect you.
Finally, your pluck and perseverance will help you solve the riddle that generations of women have failed to solve. At the right moment, you will discover that time travel solves all problems, and so we come to the happy beginning.
As others have speculated, time travel results in Doppelgangers, which perhaps explains why there are two versions of this book on Audible. The vast majority of time travel stories in sci-fi and fantasy make a big deal about the resulting conundrums. Not this one.
