Summary
A hundred years ago, a man with a secret could travel a few hundred miles and give himself a new name and life story. No one would be any the wiser, as long as he didn’t give anyone a reason to start asking questions. These days, that’s not so easy, with everyone on social media and CCTV on every street corner. So Daniel Mackmain keeps his head down and keeps himself to himself.
But now a girl has been murdered, and the Derbyshire police are taking a closer look at a loner who travels from place to place, picking up work as he goes. Worse, Dan realises the murder involves the hidden world he was born into. When no one else can see the truth, who will see justice done?
A modern fantasy rooted in the ancient myths and folklore of the British Isles.

Entrancing
The blend of modern and mythical themes made for an exciting storyline, with the twists that police intervention and the relationships with the non mystical characters kept my interest throughout. Now I feel that I would like to know more about English Folklore.

Favourite Read This Year (… so far)
Excellent story with well thought out time line. It pays excellent homage to regional folklore and English History.
The story (stories) all intertwine to a satisfactory conclusion, whilst leading you through an enjoyable life of fantasy and reality.
Will read more from this series!

Brilliant, but don't get the sequel
Such a great read, very well narrated. I was really looking forward to the sequel, but they changed narrator and the new one is genuinely unlistenable.

Folklore meets modern day
Really liked the way the folklore is dealt with in the modern world in this engaging story. Had to keep listening! Not sure what to write without giving any spoilers! A worthy listen if you like the outdoors and British folklore!

Editing Required
Good story but very drawn out. I think it could have done with some serious editing.

Bit late to this, but what a great combination.
folklore and murder mystery/crime and intrigue. Will definitely be jumping into the next installment.

Just OK but generally enjoyable
I like to try out as much as I can from the plus catalogue and this seemed to hit the nail on the head for me! UK based murder mystery with some folklore and magic.
Firstly the main character is rather unlikeable, and a bit of an idiot and secondly, the story almost seems like two in one.
it can also be a bit unnecessarily crass.
But the magical beings, the historical folklore and taking on various quests of good v evil are enjoyable.
The narrator is good too. A decent enough listen!

Rooted in pagan legend
The voice is so melodic and recorded really well. heard the intonations of the motives behind each character without a volume change.
I kept falling asleep. But I don't mind because I can just go back and start again.
I wish the chapters had titles though.
Definitely a good book, good story and fabulous narrator.
