About this listen

When the mists rise, the hunt begins.

For Maddie Lincoln, returning to her childhood home was an opportunity to retake control. Instead, she becomes trapped in an ancient struggle between mythic forces. A struggle in which her life—or death—might be the deciding factor.

Pursued through Nottingham's mist-shrouded streets, Maddie is drawn into Eventide: a realm where legends walk and perception shapes reality. As the hidden dangers of Eventide bleed into the material realm, Nottingham falls under the sway of a vengeful, malevolent queen. It falls to Maddie to stop the chaos from spreading—no easy task when nothing and no one are precisely what they seem.

Can Maddie discover the truth about the queen of Eventide before it's too late?

Back in her childhood home, Maddie Lincoln tries to take control of her life. But when a series of strange events befall her, she finds herself drawn into a mysterious other world that lingers in a dense mist on the edge of the town. A bizarre meeting with the strangely familiar Dark Lady at a funfair, soon drags Maddie into a fight between two opposing forces. Enticed into a realm where past and present collide, fantasy, folklore and history throw up a challenge she cannot escape.

This is the first book I’ve come across by this author and as I’m not usually a huge paranormal/fantasy fan, I wasn’t sure what to expect. Matthew Ward’s world building and storytelling skills are pretty good, and I loved the characters and their different traits, especially the links to Robin Hood and Maid Marian. The story gallops along at a steady pace and kept my attention all the way through – particularly the final section and denouement, which was clever. My only gripe would be my usual one – too many adverbs and clichés. The audiobook narrator, Kristin Atherton, is brilliant and really brings out the personalities of each character. It’s worth listening to Queen of Eventide just for her.

Great story with enough myth and legend to satisfy any lover of fantasy.

Brilliantly narrated.
