About this listen

Enya should have died. Trapped outside during a blizzard with no home to go back to, her thirteen years of life seemed to be at an end. Then she lit a match and her world changed forever. Escaping her fate thanks to the portal opened by the matchsticks, she managed to find a new home and a new family at Lady Ella’s Memorial Hospital. That happily ever after is threatened, however, when Don Thomas Tucker, small lord of the Southern Kingdom, demands the hospital staff pay their debt early. If they cannot collect a thousand gold pieces in one month, they will lose everything.

To save her new home and strike back at the don, Enya hatches a daring plan to steal the money they need from the corrupt lord’s own treasure vault. But with magical defenses surrounding the palace, her matchsticks alone won’t be enough. To succeed, she must venture across the Seven Kingdoms and beyond to reunite a notorious band of magical thieves who fell apart after a previous attempt on the don’s palace. With such a daunting task ahead of her, as well as an army of guards and trolls defending the vault, Enya can’t shake the feeling that maybe the whispers from her past are right. Maybe her story has no happily ever after.
