The year is 1453, and the end of the world is closer than ever. As Luca and Isolde continue their journey, their attraction grows with each passing day. Even as they try to remain focused on the mysteries they’ve been ordered to investigate, the tension between them builds. Their budding, illicit relationship is put on hold when a boy, Johann, and his army of children arrive in town. Johann claims to have divine orders to lead the children across Europe to the Holy Land, and the townspeople readily accept his claims. Luca wants to believe, but his training tells him to question everything...but when Johann’s prophecy begins to come true, Luca wonders if they have finally stumbled upon a real miracle.

Publisher's Summary
Dark myths, medieval secrets, intrigue, and romance populate the pages of this first in a four-book teen series from the #1 bestselling author of The Other Boleyn Girl.
The year is 1453 and all signs point to it being the end of the world. Accused of heresy and expelled from his monastery, handsome seventeen-year-old Luca Vero is recruited by a mysterious stranger to record the end of times across Europe. Commanded by sealed orders, Luca is sent to map the fears of Christendom and travel to the very frontier of good and evil.
Seventeen-year-old Isolde, a Lady Abbess, is trapped in a nunnery to prevent her from claiming her rich inheritance. As the nuns in her care are driven mad by strange visions, walking in their sleep, and showing bleeding wounds, Luca is sent to investigate and driven to accuse her.
Forced to face the greatest fears of the dark ages—witchcraft, werewolves, madness—Luca and Isolde embark on a search for truth, their own destinies, and even love as they take the unknown ways to the real historical figure who defends the boundaries of Christendom and holds the secrets of the Order of Darkness.

Snooze fest
This book wasn’t for you, but who do you think might enjoy it more?
Only people who like factual fiction.
What was most disappointing about Philippa Gregory’s story?
The story drags on and on and on. Nothing exciting happens.
What do you think the narrator could have done better?
He could have put some feeling in to it. This should have been a dramatic reading.
Any additional comments?
I really can't pin point a reason why I don't like this book. It is a lot of things, poor narration, slow story, annoying plot.

I have enjoyed Philippa's books but this narrator speaks in a monotone most of the time and made listening pretty unbearable.

How young adults might navigate life in 1450 AD
In 1450s Europe no one was spared the dangers of an age of forced change, least of all the young. In an age where myth and superstition frequently explained death and suffering caused by disease or war; four young adults were called to bring reason and compassion to a world of ignorance. This is that story, told through the well developed characters of Philippa Gregory.

Lesser Philippa Story line
...But I am will to give the series a chance, since I am a loyal fan and have read/listened to almost all of her books.
Also, it was much shorter, which was disappointing. I love the saga aspect of Gregory.

Amazing reader but slow story
In true Phillipa Gregory fashion, the characters in Part I of the series are beautifully developed. The story lagged at times and felt repetitive a few times, but the performance of Charlie Cox was perfection. All of the voices felt like they match the characters’ personalities and it was truly a delight to listen to. I’ve started the second book of this series and feel the exact opposite - especially with the reader. The character of Isolde sounds like an immature young Disney princess both in voice and character; Ishraq no longer sounds of a wise, independent female lead, but ditzy. If you don’t feel vested, I would stick to reading/listening to The Changeling only and skipping the next two books.

Loved the Narrator!
At first (after reading the previous reviews) I was ready and waiting for an awful experience with the narrator’s tone...but.... once he started bringing the characters to life I was 100% in. He build voices of strong female leads, I really enjoyed how he did their voices. Warning: the narrator in the next few books makes them sound like soft little damsels.
As far as the book itself, I love Philippa so much. I find her books really fun and interesting- they make for a nice break from reality when I have long drives.
