About this listen

In the third book in the Mystwick School of Musicraft series, Amelia Jones and her friends fall centuries into the past, and their only hope may lie in the hands of the villain they fear most....

After defeating the terrifying Necromuse and his mysterious orchestra, all Amelia Jones hopes for is a return to normal. But to her surprise, her class is sent to Europe for a month of study abroad. This seems like the perfect escape from all her problems, but not long after they land in Salzburg, Austria, danger haunts their steps. A street musician claims there is something wrong with Amelia’s magic, odd visions of the past appear around the city, and Amelia finds a strange message preserved in a museum—a message she fears was left by the Necromuse.

He’s still out there, and he’s still after Amelia.

When a storm of time magic traps Amelia, Jai, and Darby in the year 1765, they join forces with the most powerful musicians of the 18th century in an attempt to restore the timeline before it rips apart entirely. But it’s not enough. With time literally breaking down around her, Amelia will have to call on music far more powerful and forbidden than anything she has attempted before...magic only the Necromuse can teach her.

With original music throughout, this orchestral fantasy is an adventure the whole family will enjoy.

overall wonderful

This audioboon is a blend of subtle but essential music, wonderful narration, and a great storyline. Age-appropraite drama, suspense, and a mix of real-life struggles (parents, peer pressure, etc) without overwhelming the storyline.

Kids love it!

We do a lot of traveling; my kids always ask for these stories. It’s a little complex for my 6 year old but she still enjoys it as much as my older one

Creative and unique

I love the whole concept of music being magical. It really is. This puts a whole creative spin on that idea. This book is intriguing and whimsical. The characters are relatable and extremely likable.
