In the windswept hills of medieval Cornwall, the powerful Book of Seasons passes from mother to daughter, entrusted to those who will carry on the sacred traditions of healing and wisdom. Young Megge is meant to inherit this legacy and embrace the path of the healer. But when she touches the book, she is consumed by fear of what she will become if she accepts her birthright.

Terrified of the power she does not understand, Megge resists her destiny, even as unrest spreads through her village, and long-buried family secrets rise to the surface. As she unravels the truth, Megge must decide: will she claim her birthright and face the shadows that haunt her, or will she refuse it and allow the darkness to claim the lives of those she loves?

Megge of Bury Down opens the Goddess trilogy of the award-winning Bury Down Chronicles, where destiny awakens and an ancient cycle of Sisterhood begins anew.

Megge of Bury Down

This was an excellent story!I enjoyed it. Jan Cramer was a fine narrator.I was given this free review copy audiobook at my request and have voluntarily left this review.' 

History mixed with fantasy

This book is not what I expected and the book cover does not do the book justice.
I liked how the author used real 13th century history and mixed it with some fantasy.
In some ways it reminds me of Shadow of Night in the Discovery of Witches series. However, Megge of Bury Down is a cleaner read.
This book is different yet predictable. I would highly recommend it.
It is suitable for all.

The Power of Women

In the 13th century, powerful women who refused to submit to power did so under constant threat of torture and death. In this story of a child destined to guard great power, Ms. Kightlinger has used real history to create a world in which what some call fantasy is only one more aspect of daily life. This is fantasy for people who don't read fantasy, and a must-read for anyone seeking characters who rise into reality strong and full of life. Best of all, it's suitable for young readers, and highly recommended. Just be ready for their questions.
