About this audiobook

When Sara and Jamie discovered the artifacts, they sensed the pull of a dim, distant place, a world of misty forests, ancient magics, mythical beings, ageless bards ... and restless evil.

Now, with their friends and enemies alike—Blue, the biker; Keiran, the folk musician; the Inspector from the RCMP; and the mysterious Tom Hengyr—Sara and Jamie are drawn into this enchanted land through the portals of a sprawling downtown edifice that straddles two worlds.

From ancient Wales to the streets of present-day Ottawa, Moonheart entrances listeners with its tale of this world and the one at the very edge of sight. A tale of music, motorcycles, and fey folk beyond the shadows of the moon, Moonheart is pure magic.

Ratings and reviews

I listened to the preview. The audio sounds good. Definitely listenable. I'm a reader, not a listener. By preference, I'll buy the ebook not audiobook. I've loved this book and Charles De Lint by association obviously, since I made my discovery of this book, MANY years ago, while perusing the wonderful, advanced for its time, even now really, public library in Launceston, Tasmania. I was home after a couple of years living away. It impacted me enough that the title and author name are always on the tip of my tongue and I can barely remember my own name usually! 🙃😂🙃
