The Ciphers of Muirwood

Covenant of Muirwood, Book 2

By: Jeff Wheeler

Narrated by: Kate Rudd

From the moment she was banished by her father, the king, Princess Maia journeyed to seek sanctuary at Muirwood Abbey, the epicenter of magic and good in the land. Now safe for the first time since her cruel abandonment, Maia must foster uneasy friendships with other girls training to be Ciphers: women who learn to read and engrave tomes of ancient power, despite the laws forbidding them to do so.

As Maia tries to judge whom to trust, she makes a shocking discovery: her destiny is to open the Apse Veil and release trapped spirits from her world. Then she learns that her father is coming to Muirwood Abbey to celebrate the Whitsunday festival - and Maia's estranged husband, whom she was forced to abandon, will join him. Torn between deadly political machinations and unstoppable spiritual forces, Maia must channel unknown powers within herself to save her friends, the abbey, and the entire kingdom of Muirwood.

I want to visit Muirwood!!

I would love to visit Muirwood...and have an apple from the grove. I can imagine myself dancing around the may pole. the descriptions have me right there with the characters!

Wonderful series to enter into

I absolutely loved this second part to the story. You see the relationship between Maya and Collier grow and there are three generations of strong women banding together to overcome their predicament. I think it says quit a bit about the author that he portrays women as strong and independent and just as capable as a man to "save the world". Maya shows such compassion and it makes you strive to be more like her in real life.

A great sequel

I enjoyed this book much more than the first in the series. I think I understood more about some of the other characters and some of the aspects of Maya that irked me in the first were changed in this one. I am looking forward to the end of the trilogy in the next chapter.

great
