About this listen

A lush and twisted dark fairy tale suffused with witchcraft, dark secrets and bitter revenge from the award-winning author of All the Murmuring Bones. Exquisite, haunting and at times brutal, listeners of Naomi Novik and Erin Morgenstern will be entranced.

Asher Todd comes to live with the mysterious Morwood family as a governess to their children. Asher knows little about being a governess but she is skilled in botany and herbcraft, and perhaps more than that. And she has secrets of her own, dark and terrible—and Morwood is a house that eats secrets. With a monstrous revenge in mind, Asher plans to make it choke. However, she becomes fond of her charges, of the people of the Tarn, and she begins to wonder if she will be able to execute her plan—and who will suffer most if she does. But as the ghosts of her past become harder to control, Asher realises she has no choice.

From the award-winning author of All the Murmuring Bones, dark magic, retribution and twisted family secrets combine to weave a bewitching and addictive tale.

Featured Article: No Full Moon Needed—Here Are the 20 Best Werewolf Audiobooks to Listen to Right Now


Tired of listening to stories about humans? Consider the werewolf! Taking various forms over the course of centuries and mythologies, often as flesh-devourers, werewolves now commonly appear in fantasy and romance novels as shape-shifters. The shape-shifting element in werewolves' stories has almost humanized them, depicting the internal struggles we all face within ourselves, on some level or another.

Victorian esq horror

I'm a big sucker for Victorian style horror stories plus the little fairy tales told within the book were so good! I was hooked and couldn't stop listening!

Very good

I really like this book. I found it very interesting. I like the way the magic was used. First to change her looks and then to actually put someone in some else's body. It a complex getting even with bad family members but it still has heart. All of us are shaped by our upbringing and we all want to feel excepted and loved. That doesn't always look the same though. Most would go to great lengths to get that but how far is too far. Even in death can we r.i.p if we still have that longing?? The narrator was good.

Sins Of the Family

This fantasy blends the folklore of witches and wolf people. The story follows a witch who must fulfill a promise of revenge, but who really just wants to be free to be herself. Those around her pull her strings to do as they want, and she must toe the line between loyalties. This is a fun, fast-paced story. I really enjoyed it.
