In the grimly captivating sequel to Anathema, Maevyth and Zevander must navigate the perilous mortal lands to deliver Zevander from the clutches of an ancient, malevolent power that threatens to shatter both worlds.

An eldritch magic has awakened, turning the mortal world darker. Colder. Famished. With flesh-eating monsters and a sinister curse spreading like a plague, the last glimmer of humanity in Foxglove Parish has long since faded.

For Maevyth and Zevander, the only chance of escape is through The Eating Woods. But fate has woven a new web, tangling the threads of destiny, and crossing the mystical boundary to Aethyria might not be so simple.

As the bones of Maevyth's past are unearthed, and truths unravel with unsettling clarity, the possibility of never leaving Mortasia is becoming more of a reality. Unfortunately for Zevander, time is running out. The longer he stays in the mortal lands, deprived of essential vivicantem, the more he succumbs to the encroaching specter of madness.

Or maybe those chasing shadows are someone hunting him. A wretched evil closing in, threatening to pull him into the darkest corners of his mind.

Only, this time, Maevyth may not have the power to save him.

Eldritch is a full-length, gothic dark fantasy, and the second book in The Eating Woods trilogy. Perfect for listeners who enjoy a plot-heavy and atmospheric story with a unique magic system, a slow-burn romance, and a touch of horror.

Contains mature content. A complete list of content warnings can be found on the author's website. Narrated in duet style.

good storyline, but the past to present was a little too back and fourth.

I’ve already read this book, but I’ve been dying to hear it with the voices from from first book. This audio is perfection! It brought the whole story to life. I cannot wait for the next book. This story is incredible!

This audible is amazing. Mostly because of the Male actor who was so good at doing all the different voices and the sound of his voice in general and his performance! So good. The story was good but a bit confusing. I got lost a bit with the story line. It did all come together in the end but the story was soooo long that I found myself not remembering what happened in the beginning and who the different characters were. It’s not a light fast easy read by any means. lol. It’s a very rich and detailed fantasy. I know a lot of people complained that it was so much slower than anathema….and it was….but I knew this going in and so it didn’t bother me. And I really LOVED all the back stories and character development in this. It really made me connect and care about these characters even more. The ending!!!! UGHHHHH So angry. But I knew there was no way that character would die so easy. Hoping for a truly painful and drawn out death in the 3rd book. 😂

Great performance, especially the male actor
