Wormwood Abbey

Secrets of Ormdale, Book 1

De: Christina Baehr

Narrado por: Elizabeth Knowelden

As a Victorian clergyman's daughter, Edith Worms has seen everything-until a mythical salamander tumbles out of the fireplace into her lap.

When a letter arrives from estranged relatives, Edith is swept away to a crumbling gothic Abbey in the wilds of Yorkshire. Wormwood Abbey isn't just full of curious beasts and ancient family secrets: there's also a tall, dark, and entirely too handsome neighbor who is strangely reluctant for her to leave.

An unexpected bond with her prickly cousin Gwendolyn gives Edith a reason to stay in this strange world-especially when it turns out that Edith herself may have a role in guarding her family's legacy.

But not all of the mysteries of Ormdale are small enough to fit in her lap . . . and some of them have teeth.

Wormwood Abbey, Book 1 of The Secrets of Ormdale, is a cozy gothic novel of mystery, dragons, and the perils of friendship, perfect for fans of Emily Wilde's Encyclopaedia of Faeries and Maria Grace.

The dragons

I hate the voice at the beginning besides that I love it I’m Edith is a weird name

incredible

This book was delightful and clean! My 12 year old son enjoyed it as much as I did. we look forward to listen to the next book!

Perfect!

This clean story is a bit of Anne of Green Gables meets Jane Austen in a British setting …but, include some dragons and adventure! The narrator is amazing and exactly perfect for this story. I thoroughly enjoyed it so much that I immediately bought book 2 so I could keep listening!

Wonderful Christian based Fantasy

This book is a wonderful Christian based fantasy, filled with scripture towards the end, and no smut! A light hearted sense of magic, dragons, and mystery! Loved the narrator. I would definitely recommend this to Young teens - Adults of any age :)

Wonderful Victorian fun!

After an algorithmic suggestion I found this series and the huge demand for it. It’s delightful and fun. Great performance and can’t wait for the other four books!
