Publisher's summary

Artist Laura Matthews finds her new home in the Welsh mountains to be a place so charged with tales and legends that she is able to reach through the gossamer-fine veil that separates her own world from that of myth and fable. She and her husband, Dan, have given up their city life and moved to Blaencwm, an ancient longhouse high in the hills. Here, she hopes that the wild beauty will inspire her to produce her best art and will give her the baby they have longed for. But this high valley is also home to others, such as Rhys, the charismatic loner who pursues Laura with fervor. And Anwen, the wise old woman from the neighboring farm who seems to know so much but talks in riddles. And then there is Merlin. Lamp Black, Wolf Grey tells both Laura's story and Merlin's. For once he too walked these hills, with his faithful grey wolf at his heel. It was here he fell in love with Megan, nursemaid to the children of the hated local noble, Lord Geraint. Merlin was young at the start of his renowned career as a magician, but when he refused to help Lord Geraint, it was Megan who may pay the price. From New York Times best-selling author Paula Brackston, Lamp Black, Wolf Grey is an enchanting tale of love and magic featuring her signature blend of gorgeous writing, an intriguing historical backdrop, and a relatable heroine that listeners are sure to fall in love with.

Great book

I enjoyed this book very much. The narrator brought the book alive with different voices. I liked that Merline had a life before Camelot.

Another great story by Paula Brackston

I have loved all of Paula Brackston’s books and while this one may have had a different twist as all our lives do….I hope she continues with all the various story lines that she has created. Her characters are believable, some who hop in and out of other stories which gives us hope for even more adventures. Marisa Calin has been perfect as the narrator for Ms. Brackston’s books. Please keep writing! 💕

Idiot protagonist

I love Paula Brackston, so I stuck with the book. But the protagonist is either the dumbest woman ever written, or darn close. The other characters are interesting; Laura needed to fall off a cliff in the first chapter.

Entertaining enough but.....

Not the best of this author's books. Seems as if the pressure to release another title forced this book before its time or maybe the author just got bored with the story midway through.

Not the best of Paula Braxton

I’ve been burning through Paula Braxton’s books this past year. This was not my favorite. The extramarital relationship just degraded the whole story for me. I had a hard time liking the main character, which is unusual for Paula’s stories.
