A Novel

De: Louisa Morgan

Narrado por: Polly Lee

Set in the late 1700s, a tale of magic and fate, triumph and heartbreak, and the powerful bonds between mothers and daughters unfolds in this spellbinding novel from a master storyteller.

Brittany, 1762

There hasn’t been a witch born in the Orchière clan for generations. According to the elders, that line is dead, leaving the clan vulnerable to the whims of superstitious villagers and the prejudices of fearmongering bishops.

Ursule Orchière has been raised on stories of the great witches of the past. But the only magic she knows is the false spells her mother weaves over the gullible women who visit their fortune-telling caravan. Everything changes when Ursule comes of age and a spark of power flares to life. Thrilled to be chosen, she has no idea how magic will twist and shape her future.

Guided by an ancient grimoire and the whispers of her ancestors, Ursule is destined to walk the same path as the great witches of old. But first, the Orchière magical lineage must survive. And danger hovers over her, whether it’s the bloodlust of the mob or the flames of the pyre.

Return to the world of A Secret History of Witches with the bewitching tale of Ursule Orchière and her discovery of magical abilities that will not only change the course of her life but every generation that comes after her.

Fabulous story that is perfectly narrated

Louise Morgan doesn't disappoint with her best book yet. The story is riveting and endearing as it completes the circle. Ursule's life is magical and fascinating. I'll listen to it again and again.

Very engaging

This is a well told story of a life lived that's full of hardships, discrimination, fear, yet great familial love. I really enjoyed the story of Asul and some historical customs of a fascinating people who were so misunderstood.

A great read or listen.. all stars

A lovely book and an excellent tribute to the wandering gypsies of European history. The gypsies have always been hunted and haunted for many centuries. From ancient times right up through the 20th century. 5 stars: great story telling and unforgettable characters. In

Truly Magickal!

Has moved to the top of my BEST Audiobook experience! I absolutely LOVED IT! I have already ordered the other books Louisa Morgan has written! She made me feel like I was there. She gives just the right amount of details. Polly Lee, the narrator, brings the characters alive!

Superb!!!

And end to an enjoyable series

This book is beautifully written and made me sad when finished because I love the story and the characters. I cannot recommend this book enough.

I truly enjoyed listening to this audio book.

I'm not into witches stories, but this one is very well done and interesting. Easy listening, interesting and endearing characters, a little bit of history, a nice window into a long gone century with its beliefs and superstitions.

One of the best books I've listened to in years

This is such a beautifully written, beautifully performed story. The narration was so wonderful I felt like I was sitting around a gypsy fire listening to the tales. The writing was just beautiful.

The only con, which isn't really a con, just more of a warning. Most of the stories are a bit of a downer, if you're not in a good mind place to handle stories that don't always end happily maybe don't read this one.

Loved it

Great addition to the story. I cried along with the heroine and enjoyed the places visited.

Memorable audio book

The story and the reader kept me wanting more! The story, characters, reader pulled me in and never let go. I found the gypsy culture intriguing.

Great story and listening experience

I really love this author’s stories and this book had me wanting more. I hope she continues the family line in more books.
Highly recommended.
