Publisher's Summary

“Fans of Jane Eyre will go feral for this.”—The Everygirl

Salt and broom, make this room

Safe and tight, against the night.

Trunks packed with potions and cures, Jane Aire sets out on a crisp, clear morning in October to face the greatest challenge of her sheltered girls’-school existence. A shadow lies over Thornfield Hall and its reclusive master, Edward Rochester. And he’s hired her only as a last resort.

Jane stumbles again and again as she tries to establish a rapport with her prickly new employer, but he becomes the least of her worries as a mysterious force seems to work against her. The threats mount around both Jane and Rochester—who’s becoming more intriguing and appealing to her by the day. Jane begins to fear her herb healing and protective charms may not be enough to save the man she’s growing to love from a threat darker and more dangerous than either of them imagined.

What the critics say

“Narrating the brief interludes from Edward's point of view, Tim Bruce captures his broodiness. Elizabeth Bower, who expertly narrates the majority of this supernatural gothic romance, transports listeners to the countryside of Victorian England. It's not surprising that Bower ably brings the schoolmistress to life. Easily differentiating among the various characters, she keeps listeners immersed in the story.”AudioFile Magazine

“Deftly narrated by the talented team of Tim Bruce and Elizabeth Bower…original, memorable, and unreservedly recommended for…historical and romantic fantasy novels fans.”Midwest Book Review

“Chapters swap between Jane and Mr. Rochester's points of view, with narration by Elizabeth Bower and Tim Bruce. Bower and Bruce bring excellent voices to these classic characters, with an appropriately stubborn, outspoken Jane and stuffy, restrained Mr. Rochester. Fans of magical retellings will delight in Jane's newfound powers in this blend of witchy gothic romance and supernatural cozy mystery. Share with listeners who enjoyed the similar setting and mystery in B.R. Myers's A Dreadful Splendor.”Library Journal

MC’s voice is 70 yo

I liked the story and plot line. The MFC’s voice was great but the MMC sounded like he was 70yo. It was hard for me to imagine a 30 yo flirting with a man that sounded so old!

Do not read if you Love Jane Eyre

However, if you are merely fond of the book, you will LOVE this novel. It is a nicely done variant of the novel, with Jane Aire (from the Lowood School of Witches) called on to uncover the untoward happenings at Thornfield Hall. Written in the style of a genteel Victorian novel; it is so beguiling the actual somewhat ghastly circumstances give the reader more angst just because of the writing.

Really enjoyed this, glad I bought it on a whim.

Narration by Elizabeth Bower was wonderful. Tim Bruce sounded about thirty years too old to be Rochester.

Return to Jane Eyre

I loved this twist on the beloved classic. Favorite elements were still there, yet with a different perspective.
