About this listen

Young Rhea is a miller's daughter of low birth, so she is understandably surprised when a mysterious nobleman, Lord Crevan, shows up on her doorstep and proposes marriage. Since commoners don't turn down lords - no matter how sinister they may seem - Rhea is forced to agree to the engagement.

Lord Crevan demands that Rhea visit his remote manor before their wedding. Upon arrival, she discovers that not only was her betrothed married six times before, but his previous wives are all imprisoned in his enchanted castle. Determined not to share their same fate, Rhea asserts her desire for freedom. In answer, Lord Crevan gives Rhea a series of magical tasks to complete, with the threat "Come back before dawn, or else I'll marry you."

With time running out and each task more dangerous and bizarre than the last, Rhea must use her resourcefulness, compassion, and bravery to rally the other wives and defeat the sorcerer before he binds her to him forever.

It's the perfect story for when you want a grown-up fantasy book but not to have to worry about keeping track of huge fantasy worlds/multiple plotlines. Beautifully woven story full of dark whimsy with interesting characters. It's so refreshing to read a fantasy book that feels really creative, has me hooked on Kingfishers stories!!!

perfect dark bedrime story

At times, the story was just too ridiculous. I wanted to love it but but barely finished listening.
