Summary
A lush and twisted dark fairy tale suffused with witchcraft, dark secrets and bitter revenge from the award-winning author of All the Murmuring Bones. Exquisite, haunting and at times brutal, readers of Naomi Novik and Erin Morgenstern will be entranced.

Asher Todd comes to live with the mysterious Morwood family as a governess to their children. Asher knows little about being a governess but she is skilled in botany and herbcraft, and perhaps more than that. And she has secrets of her own, dark and terrible – and Morwood is a house that eats secrets. With a monstrous revenge in mind, Asher plans to make it choke. However, she becomes fond of her charges, of the people of the Tarn, and she begins to wonder if she will be able to execute her plan – and who will suffer most if she does. But as the ghosts of her past become harder to control, Asher realises she has no choice.

From the award-winning author of All the Murmuring Bones, dark magic, retribution and twisted family secrets combine to weave a bewitching and addictive tale.

Great little find.

This was entertaining and had some twists I didn’t see but there were some parts that felt like I missed something and some that were predictable. Overall had a good time listening to this.

A truly fascinating story has you hooked from start to finish. I highly recommend, interesting and complex characters who's motives are so very human and raw that it grounds the story and makes it compelling and a true page turner. The narration is also a delight, perfectly capturing the tone and mood of the main character.

I really like these books. They're subtly tied together but not and you have to read one to understand things in another kind of way.

Profile Avatar Alyssa J. Apr 2026

Lovely narrative voice for this fun, twisted dark fantasy. VERY much loved the world building and the author did a fun job of weaving things together at the end.

I very much like listening to the narrator and the story had a lot of elements that I'm into such as herbalism witchcraft,paranormal, supernatural. I also could relate to the characters who were women dealt a tough card knowing there was no black or white but a gray area where you did what you did because you were trying to survive. In the end she probably gets the most realistic best-ending one could hope for. Not much spice a brief passing liking. I probably wouldn't listen to it again unless I just wanted to listen to a pleasant voice, but the story itself didn't engage me as much. The second half is definitely more enjoyable for me. I would definitely give it a read if you haven't read it yet. I just personally wouldn't plan on specifically reading it again.

Meh - sort of confusing at parts. May have been better to read it. I felt like I needed to take notes.
