Summary

Whistling Tor is a place of secrets: a mysterious, wooded hill housing the crumbling fortress belonging to Anluan - a chieftain whose name is spoken throughout the region in tones of revulsion and bitterness. A curse lies over Anluan's family and his people, and the woods themselves hold a perilous force whose every whisper threatens doom.

Then the young scribe Caitrin appears in Anluan's garden, admiring the rare plant known as heart's blood. Retained to sort through entangled family documents, Caitrin brings about unexpected changes in the household, casting a hopeful light against the despairing shadows.

But even as Caitrin brings solace to Anluan, and the promise of something more between them, he remains in thrall to the darkness surrounding Whistling Tor. To free Anluan's burdened soul, Caitrin must unravel the web of sorcery woven by his ancestors before it claims his life - and their love....

It took a few chapters too get used to the narrator. I only stuck with it because I've read this book many years ago and knew it was one I'd enjoyed. If you don't get on with the audiobook, do get hold of a kindle or physical book version. It is a lovely, though slightly predictable tale.

Great story, wrong narrator

I thoroughly enjoyed. Definitely fits into the genre of books I personally enjoy. I’ve seen some compare it to beauty and the beast however that’s slightly diminishes the story. The villain is incredibly obvious from the start which is kinda annoying but otherwise the book is amazing

A worthy listen
