About this listen
Jake Ingis made a mistake the day he entered the Stone Circle known locally as The Nine Ladies. From that day forward, everybody he loves will be affected. How can a normal, fun-loving young man be pulled into this life? Who is Cynbel, and what was a warrior from the past doing on Stanton Moor?
Nothing made sense. Share Jake's emotion of fear, love, hatred, and the need to protect his loved ones. With no explanation, in the beginning, was he just dreaming? As time goes on, Jake’s life is turned upside down over and over again.
How Jake wanted his normal life back in the little village of Wensley! I guess there comes a time in everyone’s life when we have to face the unknown, and fear is the beast we have to conquer. Jake’s time is soon coming, and he knows it’s time to stand up or be swallowed up in the heartbreak that is waiting for him.
Is all lost for Jake Ingis and his family?

Life is full of second chances, if only you keep your heart open for them. Spring Hill Square is a pretty sanctuary away from the bustle of everyday life. And at its centre is Leni Merryman's Teashop on the Corner, specialising in cake, bookish stationery and compassion. And for three people, all in need of a little TLC, it is somewhere to find a friend to lean on.

Ten years ago he killed my son. Today I married him. Ten years ago my darling son Jesse was murdered and our perfect family was destroyed. My strong, handsome boy, so full of life, became a memory, a photo I carried with me everywhere. But today I’m finally close to finding happiness again. My ash-blonde hair has been curled into ringlets. Carefully placed white flowers frame my delicate features. The small, drab chapel has been prettied up with white satin, and there are tiny red hearts scattered on the small table where I will soon sign the register with my new husband.

Lenny McLean was one of the deadliest bareknuckle fighters Britain has ever seen. He had dear, powerful friends, but he also had terrible enemies. So much so that he had two bullet wounds in his back - each from a different attack. He was also stabbed repeatedly - always from behind. But Lenny was also a warm, big-hearted grizzly bear of a man, whose main weakness was an overwhelming desire to put the welfare of his mates ahead of his own wellbeing.

Maybe it was in a fragment of conversation overheard as she cleaned a sink? Before long (as she dusted a sitting room or defrosted a fridge) she noticed people were telling her their stories. Perhaps they had always done so, but now it is different, now the stories are reaching out to her and she gathers them to her.
