About this listen

Winner of the 2018 Fantasy Prize and Kindle Storyteller Finalist.

This is one secret he’s keeping to himself. And who would believe him anyway?

Farin, the gravedigger’s son, lives in the medieval village of Heap. The 18-year-old is an outsider who is bullied and ostracized by the villagers. His father has succumbed to a life of drinking, and the young man has no option but to take over the job of gravedigger.

But Farin’s life takes a dramatic twist when the village witch dies. As he prepares her for burial, he finds an amulet hanging around her neck, and he can’t resist trying it on....

This is an interesting and unusual medieval fantasy, featuring two unlikely heroes - one male and one female. They are two less than average, ‘un-beautiful’ and imperfect (but basically good) types that are hurled into extraordinary circumstances.

I am looking forward to seeing how their characters and the story develops in the next book!

…Makes a welcome change from the typical effort in this genre over the past couple decades - usually focused on a raging war and staring a child prodigy, teenage ‘wonderlad’ who behaves like a middle aged man and his feisty, supermodel beauty (or two… ) who always only serve as sidekick/s, in spite of their acid personalities.

I thought these books were absolutely fantastic. Listened to all 4 back to back and there were so many moments when I uncontrollably laughed out loud. The author was brilliant and the narrator absolutely brought the books to life.

Absolutely ADORED these books!
