The Mistmantle Chronicles, Book 1

By: M. I. McAllister

Narrated by: Paul Mclaughlin

On a night of riding stars, a tiny squirrel is found abandoned and close to death on a distant beach. Adopted and raised by a welcoming colony of animals, Urchin has no idea of his powerful destiny or of his mysterious origins.

The rule of the good King Brushen and Queen Spindle is threatened by an evil plot from within the court. When a murder is committed, the isle is thrown into turmoil. Behind the scenes, ruthless animals are determined to seize the throne. But to underestimate the power of the islanders and the ancient prophecies is a big mistake...

Triumphant heroes and brilliantly wicked villains do battle in this first book of the treasured, heart-stopping Mistmantle adventure series.

a very underrated book

this book deserves more love than it gets. it's got a solid story, fun characters and good pacing. always been one of my favorite books.
not my favorite narrator but good enough to keep listening.

An adventure worth taking

Read this because it was my husbands favorite series as a kid, turns out it’s just as fun to read as an adult. The narrator made the book even more enjoyable with the changing accents and voices.

Filled with adventure

This was an excellent story of the fight between good and evil. I highly recommend this as a family read.
