About this listen

“A magical blend of romance and whimsy, equal parts devastating and hopeful."" —Ava Reid, #1 New York Times bestselling author of A Study in Drowning


Fans of Allison Saft and Margaret Rogerson will be swept away into this lush and beguiling sapphic romantasy from the bestselling author of Flowerheart, Catherine Bakewell.

Ofelia has lived her life dreaming of entering Le Château Enchanté—the mysterious court of the gods-blessed King Léo, where the shadow monsters that roam Ofelia’s home never trespass.

Lope has lived her life as a knight, defending Ofelia and her home from Shadows even as she dreams of escaping with Ofelia by her side.

When the Shadows venture too close, Lope and Ofelia are thrust into a journey that will lead them to the heart of the darkness haunting their home: the dazzling and deceptive Château Enchanté itself.

A mesmerizing daydream with a subtle edge of darkness, Where Shadows Bloom pits terrifying monsters, chilling secrets, capricious gods, immortal kings, and death itself against the unstoppable love between two girls.

The author creates an intricate world of shadows and mystery. She weaves beauty and horror together so well. The love story between the two main characters is sweet, and the relationships between the characters are well developed where they should be, and superficial in other situations. It’s a fairytale full of monsters who aren’t what they seem.

A rich and beautiful dark world
