About this listen

Author note: Ten years ago, I promised my six-year-old daughter Alice—a huge Harry Potter fan—that I'd write a magical book series with her as the hero. She's sixteen now. This is that promise fulfilled.

A girl with untold power. A teenage warlock with a tragic past. A hidden magical world. A children's home for mistreated and abused warlocks and witches.

Fourteen-year-old Alice Mason doesn’t know she's magical, but that changes on a school trip to the British Museum. Standing before the Blood Stone, she discovers she’s related to the legendary wizardess, Morgan Le Fay, and is destined to be the most powerful witch in 1500 years.

Attacked by the mysterious Black Hunters, Alice is targeted by the wicked Grand Wizard Valerius Mallagan, a descendant of the most evil wizard in history: Merlin.

So begins a thrilling magical adventure that propels Alice into the Enchanted Earth, where she learns the true history behind Arthurian legend, befriends a charming werewolf, a dragon called Maddie, and a three-hundred-year-old Grand Wizardess.

But when someone she cares about is poisoned, Alice embarks on a dangerous quest to find a mythical bird with the power to heal any wound.

There are no wands, no broomsticks, no nose-less Dark Lords, but there's charm, action, wonder, and fun. Oh, and there's magic ... lots of magic!

As with all the authors works, this is an excellent story with good plot and character development. Narration is superb as always by Lee Beddows who also produces it. A truly 5 star listen in all respects, and a good introduction to what promises to be as good a series as the time hunters was.

First off, let’s get it out of the way - yep, Harry Potter comparisons are bound to be drawn here. But, let’s not forget Harry Potter is now 30 odd years old - hence the forces that be scraping the barrel and making the new ‘series’ version. Perhaps their money would be better spent looking for something new to take a punt on… eg, this!
The story is solid, gets started straight away and has enough characters to further develop over the coming books (which I’m hoping is the plan). It was actually really interesting the way the story moves as it is a lot more character driven than just ‘goodies vs baddies.’ I don’t want to give too much away, but the less is more approach on certain characters works really well. I sense there is a lot more to come… and I’m looking forward to it.
Great writing for sure, and an excellent narration as well with some fun accents and characterisation. Top work all round :)
I’d recommend this wholeheartedly for fans of Harry Potter, and also for those looking to get their kids into the newest world of wizardry and magic.

The start of something great!
