About this listen

A Gothic fantasy set on a college campus from the author of Wylding Hall

Sweeney Cassidy is the typical college freshman at the University of the Archangels and St. John the Divine in Washington, DC. She drinks. She parties. And she certainly doesn't suspect that underneath its picturesque Gothic facade, the university is a haven for the Benandanti, a cult devoted to suppressing the powerful and destructive Moon Goddess. But everything is about to change as Sweeney learns that her two new best friends are the goddess' Chosen Ones.

Rich and engrossing, Waking the Moon is a seductive post-feminist thriller that delves into an ancient feud, where the real and magical collide, and one woman is forced to make a decision that will change the world.

I was already a fan of Elizabeth Hand, having read the Cass Neary series but this book was just stunning! A sweeping saga spanning thousands of years and across the globe. As usual, the descriptions are lyrically beautiful and they really add musical definition to the world within the book (more than once I was crying on the tube on my way home!) Carol Monda is an excellent narrator and brings to life all the characters wonderfully.
Completely worth the listen, I cannot recommend this enough!

Breathtakingly Beautiful
