About this listen

Dark myths, medieval secrets, intrigue, and romance populate 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.

After enjoying all of the books in Philippa Gregory’s “Plantagenet and Tudor” series, I realized that I wanted more of her books. I discovered her “Order of Darkness” series. The adventures of her characters are very entertaining and the dialogue can be extremely funny. Charlie Cox’s audio performance and dry wit, especially as the character Freize, had me laughing out loud. Mr. Cox was the perfect voice for the book. I highly recommend this book.

A lighthearted, entertaining and witty read
