About this listen

The stakes have never been higher . . . Damned by Genevieve Cogman is the final book in the Scarlet Revolution series, a spellbinding adventure of magic, vampires and mayhem.

1794. Eleanor, once a lowly English maid, is now a member of the League of the Scarlet Pimpernel and a promising conjuror. With a vampire plot thwarted in Paris, the League's next daring rescue is of the Pimpernel's beloved wife, Lady Marguerite, imprisoned in her London townhouse on unjust charges of treason and espionage.

But Lady Marguerite’s captivity is only the first threat from the League's vampiric enemy. With the King known to be ill, possibly mad, England is not as it should be. Vampires conspire to take control over the whole country whilst challenging Eleanor and the League at every turn.

But then using her growing magical powers, Eleanor uncovers a devastating, centuries-old secret that is so steeped in blood, it will change not only England, but the entire vampire world forever . . .

Damned is the unmissable third book in the Scarlet Revolution trilogy from Genevieve Cogman, author of The Invisible Library series. Discover where Eleanor's journey first began in Scarlet, a Sunday Times bestseller.

Critic reviews

A thoughtful exploration of class and revolution . . . This book is a smart, swashbuckling joy. I loved it (H.G. Parry, author of The Magician's Daughter on Scarlet)
The intrigue and adventure keep you turning the page in this exciting tale of revolution, vampires and the guillotine. Cogman writes with beauty and wit to create a heroine we should all root for (T. L. Huchu, author of the Edinburgh Nights series on Scarlet)
If you appreciate a solid historical setting and have a soft spot for vampires, you'll enjoy this first book in what promises to be an intriguing trilogy (Lucy Holland, author of Sistersong on Scarlet)

Struggling to finish this book. I feel like I’m being shouted at by the narrator. You’d think she would have listened to the previous books narration and maybe read the book first. Shame as I enjoyed the first 2.

Unrecognisable and a chore

Loved the characters and the narration, great book. I've enjoyed all of Cogmans books and look forward to the next one. Great stories

Disappointing change of narrator for book 3. Increasing the speed helped with the poor variety of voices and mispronunciations.

Poor narration but a fitting ending.

Love this series and I was looking forward to this one for ages. Georgia Maguire did a fantastic job narrating the first two, so I was disappointed to see that the narrator had changed for the third book, but I had high hopes. Sadly, Emma Fenney is nowhere near as good. I think her style would work well for children’s books, but I’m finding it really distracting from the story here. At the very beginning, she describes Lady Marguerite’s French accent, but she somehow makes character sound more like Margaret Thatcher and hasn’t even attempted to give her a French accent! She manages to make the other characters sound equally annoying and unlikeable too.
I’m sure the plot and the characters will be fantastic but I’m really struggling to continue past chapter two at the moment. Might just give up and read it instead.

Fab author, shame about the narration

The story was equally good as the previous books but unfortunately the narrator was nowhere near as good. Bad phrasing, dreadful accents and far too melodramatic. Very irritating!

Ruined by change of narrator.
