About this listen

An enchanting new novella set in the magical world of Sunday Times bestseller Threadneedle.

Rowan is visiting her aunt – Winne the hedge witch – in the Welsh countryside, to get back to nature and hone her skills, as well as taking a break from her annoying sisters and enjoying some peace and quiet. However, Rowan soon comes to realise that hedges are a serious business and this isn’t quite the opportunity to rest and escape she thought it might be.

Not only that, but mysterious events around the town are causing panic in the secret magical community and cowans – non-magical folk – are starting to take notice.

Can Rowan hone her hedge craft, try to make some friends and solve the riddle of the mysterious goings-on, or is magic about to be revealed to the world … or at least Wales?

Have you read the first two full-length novels in this magical, Sunday Times bestselling series? Threadneedle and Shadowstitch are both available to read now.

Critic reviews

Praise for THREADNEEDLE:

‘An enthralling and original fantasy, woven inside a magical web of lies’
Jay Kristoff, Sunday Times bestselling author of NEVERNIGHT and EMPIRE OF THE VAMPIRE

‘The magic both gleams and threatens. There are riddles and puzzles to be solved and there’s a library – trust me, it’s a good one. You’ll want to give this a try.’
Sunday Times bestselling author Robin Hobb

‘In this beautiful coming-of-age book, Thomas tackles big issues, family secrets and heartbreak in a brilliantly imagined, yet authentic world.’
Woman’s Weekly

‘There’s magic in every nook and cranny – as well as shops selling memories – in this fantastical novel that stalks the streets of London’s underbelly’
METRO

‘A bewitching tale of magic, family secrets and twisted affections, of finding your true self in a world of treacherous mystery. Prepare to be charmed!’
David Wragg, author of THE BLACK HAWKS

‘THREADNEEDLE had me spellbound – a luminous, captivating fantasy that left me longing to return to Thomas’s vividly imagined magical world. With teen witches, hidden libraries, secrets and lies, it’s a dream of a book, and I loved it.’
Katie Lowe, author of THE FURIES

‘The first in a new fantasy trilogy, Anna's aunt has always warned her of the dangers of magic and now, aged 16, she is counting down the days to a ceremony that will bind her magic forever. That is, until her eyes are opened to a London she never knew existed one with a shop that sells memories, a secret underground library and nightclubs full of magic.’
Woman Magazine

‘An enthralling and inventive story you’ll enjoy getting lost in’
Woman & Home

Was a little disappointed by this after how good threadneedle was. It was a little too YA for me but I did enjoy it overall and it was nice to see a bit more of Rowans story. For a novella it had a nice little plot and I enjoyed learning more about the magic system in the threadneedle world.

Mostly docked a whole star for the bad audiobook narration (for my personal taste). The narrators voice was clear but fairly hoarse and it was narrated in quite a childish and over dramatised style which was very over the top. To be honest if I hadn’t spent an audible credit on it, I’m not sure I would have pushed through, definitely would recommend you preview the narration before purchasing.

Nice novella, didn’t enjoy narration

Hugely over-acted - every word exaggerated as if the listener is deaf or stupid. Found it almost unbearable to listen to.

Not sure who the audience is

I really wanted to like this but the narration ruined it for me. So over the top and exaggerated. I felt like it was being read for young children. I appreciate that the main character is younger than she is in the first book but the narration, to me, seemed to be more suited to a much younger audience. Some of character voices were quite cringe worthy.
I really enjoyed Threadneedle, hence the listen for this. Hopefully the next, full length, installment from that world well be with us soon.

Toe curling narration
