Fifty years ago, Ravi Gupta left someone behind. Now she has found her way home.

Professor Ravi Gupta has spent a lifetime guarding the portal he opened as a young man, through magic he never should have touched, and the world of peril on the other side. But the passage is not his darkest secret. That is the woman he left there, and never spoke of again.

When his most brilliant student vanishes through the same door, Ravi has no choice but to go back. He returns to that hostile realm to bring the boy home, and finds the world beyond ruled by the research associate he and his partner marooned there decades ago. She has not forgotten what they did. And when the passage opens once more, she follows him through it, into the heart of the college he loves, hunting the man who abandoned her.

To save his students, Ravi must at last answer for the betrayal he has spent fifty years trying to outrun.

Legacy of Shadows is the third novel in the Cambridge Gothic series. Atmospheric, warm-hearted dark academia steeped in the real Cambridge, it is the culmination of the trilogy, for listeners who love Ben Aaronovitch's Rivers of London and Jodi Taylor's Chronicles of St Mary's.

I have thoroughly enjoyed these books, the characters and the world building are what I look for in this type of story.

Unlike anything I’ve read before. So glad I stumbled across these books! I would recommend giving these books a read if you’ve not come across the author before.

Brilliant trilogy

The audio equivalent of a page turner. Binged all three books in the series and I do hope there will be more to come.

Superb conclusion to an excellent trillogy

These books get better each time and translate superbly to audio. The narrator is excellent and really brings the characters to life. The characters are very endearing, and the narrator makes it easy to visualise them. The story itself is very enjoyable, imaginative, and set in 'real world's Cambridge, but with a 'dark materials' adventure twist that is easy to follow. The descriptions of Cambridge make the story very real, especially if you are familiar with the city. All 3 books are gripping, and the series is on knife edge right to the end. It's definitely one of my favourite series of books ever!

A brilliant third book in a fantastic trilogy.
