About this listen

Brought to you by Penguin.

In a world divided between good and evil, what happens when you're both?

Nathan Byrn is the illegitimate son of the world's most dangerous witch.

Kept in a cage by the Council of Fairborn witches, who believe he is destined to follow the same destructive path as his father, Nathan must find a way to unlock his full powers before his seventeenth birthday, or face madness and death.

His one hope lies with the sinister Blood witch Mercury. But Mercury's help always comes at a price - one Nathan may not be able to pay...

Now a major new Netflix series entitled The Bastard Son & the Devil Himself.

I've now just started listening to all books narrated by Carl Prekopp and he makes them all wonderful. His voice, his accents, his pace, the feelings he brings out, the tension, how he differentiates between characters, everything. He's a narrating genius. I hope he reads many many more. Anything by him is worth a listen.

Carl Prekopp is by far the best narrator

fairly standard YA material but the narrator makes it pop with better command of accent and tone than his peers reciting higher brow titles.

excellent narrator!/ decent story
