Summary
When fourteen-year-old Irene Sauvelle moves with her family to Cape House on the coast of Normandy, she's immediately taken by the beauty of the place--its expansive cliffs, coasts, and harbors. There, she meets a local boy named Ishmael, and the two soon fall in love. But a dark plot is about to unfold involving a reclusive toymaker who lives in a gigantic mansion filled with mechanical beings and shadows of the past.
As strange lights shine through the fog surrounding a small, barren island, Irene's younger brother dreams of a dark creature hidden deep in the forest. And when a young girl is found murdered, her body at the end of a path torn through the woods by a monstrous, inhuman force, Irene and Ishmael wonder--has a demonic presence been unleashed on the inhabitants of Cape House? Together, they'll have to survive the most terrifying summer of their lives.
Read by Peter Kenny. As both actor and singer, Peter Kenny has worked widely in theatre and broadcasting, appearing with, amongst others, the Royal Shakespeare Company, A&BC, Coventry Belgrade, and the BBC Radio Repertory Company.

Eloquent story telling at its best.
Love Carlos Ruiz Zafron style of story telling. You get to watch understand and know each character well.

Great gothic story
A wonderfully spooky story, brilliantly narrated. This is perfect for older children and adults who like gothic style mysteries.

Forgettable Ghost Story
The first half was really hard to get into and it was last part that gave it a ghost movie feel. I didn’t really find any of the characters interesting. Having read/listened to prince of mist and midnight palace this turned out to be the most original story. This is something I would not want to read or listen to again. Was okay but not that great.
