About this listen

In this debut gothic fantasy, a young woman who can see the dead strikes a deal with the magnetic and dangerous Saint of Silence, a purveyor of dark secrets, to save her brother’s life—the first book of a trilogy.

“One part sumptuous Gothic mystery, another part all the yearning and coy wordplay of a Jane Austen novel . . . I adored every minute of Weavingshaw.”—Shannon Chakraborty, New York Times bestselling author of The Adventures of Amina al-Sirafi


Three years ago, Leena Al-Sayer awoke with a terrible power.

She can see the dead.

Since then, she has hidden herself away from the world, knowing that if she ever reveals her curse she will be locked up in an asylum.

When her beloved brother, Rami, falls fatally ill, Leena is faced with a terrible choice: Let him die or buy the expensive medicine that will save his life by bartering the only valuable thing she has—her secret.

The Saint of Silence, a ruthless merchant who trades in confessions and is shrouded in unearthly rumors of cruelty and power, accepts her bargain, for a deadly price. Leena must find the ghost of Percival Avon, the last lord of Weavingshaw—or lose her freedom to the Saint forever.

As Leena’s search takes her and the Saint to Weavingshaw, she finds the estate and the surrounding moors to be living things—hungry for blood and sacrifice. Fighting against Weavingshaw’s might, Leena must also fight her growing pull toward the enigmatic Saint himself, whose connection to Percival Avon remains a mystery.

As the house begins to entomb them, time is running out on their desperate hunt for answers.

For Leena has come to see that here in Weavingshaw, the dead are not hushed—and some secrets are better left buried with them.

“Intense, intriguing, and impossible to put down, Weavingshaw is a truly gorgeous gothic fantasy steeped in atmosphere and filled with yearning.”—Ellis Hunter, author of Blood Bound

“A twisty gothic oozing with angst that will have you turning the next page—but never guessing what’s next . . . With sharp haunted heroines and morally grey saints, Weavingshaw unfurls its shadows to examine how secrets are currency—and shields around your heart. I needed the next book yesterday!”—Katie Wu, author of Madder Lake
