About this listen

A twisted tale of murder, magic and salvation.

Heather Keynes’ teenage son died in a tragic car accident. Or so she thinks. However, deep in the countryside, an ancient evil has awoken...intent on hunting local residents. No-one is safe.

When Heather takes a closer look at a series of coincidental deaths, she is drawn reluctantly into the company of an odd group of elderly Guardians. Who are they, and what is their connection to the Great Oak?

Why do they believe only Heather can put an end to centuries of horror?

Most important of all, who is the mysterious old woman in the forest, and what is it that feeds her anger?

Original cover design by Jennie Rawlings.

Really good storyline, some parts got a little dull, but it soon picked up. Not sure I loved the ending, but still thoroughly enjoyable.

Gripping, mostly…

Interesting story, touching on grief and loss. In parts very atmospheric. I felt the romantic relationship didn’t ring true, maybe that was the intention.
I enjoyed the novel.

Amazing

Whilst the storyline was full of drama and surprises it was not a gory slasher-type of horror. It maintained my interest throughout and the ending was superb.
Looking for my next one now.

A Thrilling Adventure

I have listened to quite a few titles on Audible, but none as well written and delivered (well done, Emma Powell) as this, so far.
There were one or two small grammatical errors, but then we're all guilty of that; and it didn't detract from the story.
Very few audio book narrators do it as well as Emma did; it must be difficult to keep up that standard of professional delivery through a long story.
I was hooked from the first paragraph!
The Pagan references were spot on - and I'm a Pagan.

Absolutely superb - more please!

Brilliantly written and very entertaining.

The Narrator really made this story. I think I would have tapped out earlier if not for that. This narrative takes place over 4 years so there's are some less engaging chpaters. Especially for a listener. But all in all a decent addition nothing amazing but a nice light read with some great moments

Fantastic narration, not really horror - horror elements

This was a very entertaining read. It's not full on horror but a dark atmospheric story that keeps you wanting to listen on.
