About this listen

In the third book in the Mystwick School of Musicraft series, Amelia Jones and her friends fall centuries into the past, and their only hope may lie in the hands of the villain they fear most....

After defeating the terrifying Necromuse and his mysterious orchestra, all Amelia Jones hopes for is a return to normal. But to her surprise, her class is sent to Europe for a month of study abroad. This seems like the perfect escape from all her problems, but not long after they land in Salzburg, Austria, danger haunts their steps. A street musician claims there is something wrong with Amelia’s magic, odd visions of the past appear around the city, and Amelia finds a strange message preserved in a museum—a message she fears was left by the Necromuse.

He’s still out there, and he’s still after Amelia.

When a storm of time magic traps Amelia, Jai, and Darby in the year 1765, they join forces with the most powerful musicians of the 18th century in an attempt to restore the timeline before it rips apart entirely. But it’s not enough. With time literally breaking down around her, Amelia will have to call on music far more powerful and forbidden than anything she has attempted before...magic only the Necromuse can teach her.

With original music throughout, this orchestral fantasy is an adventure the whole family will enjoy.

Good if you are young and like fantasy or music. Probably not best for teens. Engaging storyline. Incredible music, I wish it was on Spotify. Overall, fantastic book if you are into magic

I love the Mystwick series, and this really is just as good as it's predecessors! I loved the characters, old and new, the plot felt solid especially when time travel plots can be difficult to pull off but this was done brilliantly. I'm also so obsessed with the new development of Mia and Jai 👀💖 (I'm definitely shipping them now!)

I cannot wait for the next installment to see what mischief and mayhem the mystwick gang get up to next! I hope we aren't waiting too long!

10/10 in all aspects, both written and performance on audible 🥰
