Publisher's Summary

A breathtaking, enchanting new series by debut Australian author Jessica Townsend, about a cursed girl who escapes death and finds herself in a magical world - but is then tested beyond her wildest imagination.

Morrigan Crow is cursed. Born on an unlucky day, she is blamed for all local misfortunes, from hailstorms to heart attacks - and, worst of all, the curse means that Morrigan is doomed to die at midnight on Eventide. But as Morrigan awaits her fate, a strange and remarkable man named Jupiter North appears. Chased by black-smoke hounds and shadowy hunters on horseback, he whisks her away into the safety of a secret, magical city called Nevermoor.

It's there that Morrigan discovers Jupiter has chosen her to contend for a place in the city's most prestigious organisation: the Wundrous Society. In order to join, she must compete in four difficult and dangerous trials against hundreds of other children, each boasting an extraordinary talent that sets them apart. Except for Morrigan, who doesn't seem to have any special talent at all.

To stay in the safety of Nevermoor for good, Morrigan will need to find a way to pass the tests - or she'll have to leave the city to confront her deadly fate.

A magical journey full of wonder

this was such a refreshing take on a a fantasy world. familiar enough to instantly relate to but full of new concepts and magical ideas. I'm not usually one to 'not put a book down' but I simply couldn't stop listening!

Couldn't Leave My Headphones!

This incredible story has proved itself to be the next Harry Potter series! I was intrigued the entire time and found it immensely difficult to leave my headphones each time I had to do something. The narrator also did a great job bringing it all to life. It was audiobook perfection!

A must read!

Absolutely loved this book!! Such a brilliant world!
My 9yr old son listened to it also and then told his friends at school to borrow the library book!
Can’t wait for this to come out as a movie & look forward to the other books in this series.

The narrator did a brilliant job with the voices and I laughed at a few of the characters.

Very Enjoyable

Gemma's story telling and clever accents bring Jennifer's world of Nevermore to life. Great fun!
