About this listen

Born of the sun and moon, shaped by fire and malady, comes a young woman whose story has never been told . . .

They call her Sycorax. Seer. Sage. Sorceress.

Outcast by society and all alone in the world, Sycorax must find a way to understand her true nature. But as her powers begin to grow, so too do the suspicions of the local townspeople. For knowledge can be dangerous, and a woman's knowledge is the most dangerous of all . . .

With a great storm brewing on the horizon, Sycorax finds herself in increasing peril - but will her powers save her, or will they spell the end for them all?

A beautifully written and deeply moving imagining of what came before Shakespeare's The Tempest from the author of A Girl Made of Air.

This is a beautiful tale of one woman’s experience of disability, isolation and loneliness. I loved the way Sycorax’s experience of pain and fatigue was masterfully woven through the narrative, it validated my own experiences and made me feel seen. What could have been a bleak tale was joyously uplifting and I loved every minute. Nydia’s narration is fantastic and brought the whole experience to life. This is a story relevant to all and a must listen.

A fantastic story
