Summary

In the grimly captivating sequel to Anathema, Maevyth and Zevander must navigate the perilous mortal lands to deliver Zevander from the clutches of an ancient, malevolent power that threatens to shatter both worlds.

An eldritch magic has awakened, turning the mortal world darker. Colder. Famished. With flesh-eating monsters and a sinister curse spreading like a plague, the last glimmer of humanity in Foxglove Parish has long since faded.

For Maevyth and Zevander, the only chance of escape is through The Eating Woods. But fate has woven a new web, tangling the threads of destiny, and crossing the mystical boundary to Aethyria might not be so simple.

As the bones of Maevyth's past are unearthed, and truths unravel with unsettling clarity, the possibility of never leaving Mortasia is becoming more of a reality. Unfortunately for Zevander, time is running out. The longer he stays in the mortal lands, deprived of essential vivicantem, the more he succumbs to the encroaching specter of madness.

Or maybe those chasing shadows are someone hunting him. A wretched evil closing in, threatening to pull him into the darkest corners of his mind.

Only, this time, Maevyth may not have the power to save him.

Eldritch is a full-length, gothic dark fantasy, and the second book in The Eating Woods trilogy. Perfect for listeners who enjoy a plot-heavy and atmospheric story with a unique magic system, a slow-burn romance, and a touch of horror.

Contains mature content. A complete list of content warnings can be found on the author's website. Narrated in duet style.

Started very slow and I struggled at times, the story was long and not alot happened initially but that changes and I was hooked. Would have been an epic duology. Still glad I finished and Ill be reading the final book when its released.

What an ending!

the story is brilliant and the voice actors they've used are perfect for the characters. they portray every character very well and I love that the male voice actor doesn't read the female lines and the same for the male parts. Having a deep male voice pretend to be a female character is so odd so I'm so glad they did it this way. The story as well is just amazingly exciting, dark and tense in the best way. loved this story and can't wait for October for the next book to finally come out.

brilliant audio book

I love the magic system the story line character building etc but you have to be switched on to pick it all up, her sister often irritated me, and I found her character to be pretty useless in this book, I expected more from that character 🤷🏻‍♀️
I don't know,cim torn loved loved loved it, but I feel with such rich backgrounds and possibostory building ... there could have been less filler of the mortal lands and sister

loved itz but loose ends... maybe ... book 3 let's wait and see
