In the grimly captivating sequel to Anathema, Maevyth and Zevander must navigate the perilous mortal lands to deliver Zevander from the clutches of an ancient, malevolent power that threatens to shatter both worlds.
An eldritch magic has awakened, turning the mortal world darker. Colder. Famished. With flesh-eating monsters and a sinister curse spreading like a plague, the last glimmer of humanity in Foxglove Parish has long since faded.
For Maevyth and Zevander, the only chance of escape is through The Eating Woods. But fate has woven a new web, tangling the threads of destiny, and crossing the mystical boundary to Aethyria might not be so simple.
As the bones of Maevyth's past are unearthed, and truths unravel with unsettling clarity, the possibility of never leaving Mortasia is becoming more of a reality. Unfortunately for Zevander, time is running out. The longer he stays in the mortal lands, deprived of essential vivicantem, the more he succumbs to the encroaching specter of madness.
Or maybe those chasing shadows are someone hunting him. A wretched evil closing in, threatening to pull him into the darkest corners of his mind.
Only, this time, Maevyth may not have the power to save him.
Eldritch is a full-length, gothic dark fantasy, and the second book in The Eating Woods trilogy. Perfect for listeners who enjoy a plot-heavy and atmospheric story with a unique magic system, a slow-burn romance, and a touch of horror.
Contains mature content. A complete list of content warnings can be found on the author's website. Narrated in duet style.

If Anathema was Gothic Fantasy Eldritch was Romantic Horror.
People moan about flashbacks in books but how do you learn of someone’s lifetime when they are hundreds of years old without them!? I am nosy when reading I want to know how someone ticks and this books gave me EVERYTHING I need to love Zenvander more.
I half listened half read this book. The narrators were amazing. I have had issues with narrators recently where they’ve annoyed me - it’s my issue not them- not I LOVED this audio.
Maevyth’s story unravelling at the same time we learn of Zevanders is impeccable. I love how she pulls multiple POV’s and timelines together - such amazing writing and world building 🤤
This book is definitely a character building book more than plot, but it is mingled in too.
Also - poor Maevyth. We somehow need to go from 3 to 10!? IYKYK 😂
Definitely only read this if you are in the head space for it. You need to pay attention and if you haven’t read Anathema in a long time get a quick catch up on it!
I cannot wait for book 3
4.5!!
