About this listen
The year is 1492. Sixteen-year-old Titus Devere is thrown out of his religious order after proving that a divine revelation (blood streaming from a religious icon) was a fake, using his knowledge of Moorish science. He is brilliant and gorgeous but, cast as a heretic, he is sent to the Vatican in Rome where he expects to be punished or executed. Instead he is recruited into a secret order investigating strange occurrences across Europe. Known as The Order of the Dragon, it is headed up by a mysterious man with a tattoo of a coiled dragon eating its own tail on his arm.
Titus is sent to investigate an abbess who has been accused of witchcraft, alongside her slave and Moorish half-sister, Ishrak. The abbess, Ygraine, is actually a fifteen-year-old girl who has been shut up in a nunnery by her brother after her father's death, to ensure that she cannot inherit any of the family estate. Ygraine is a reluctant nun and manages to escape the abbey with Ishrak, though no one can work out how they did it. Titus is intrigued - could they really be using witchcraft? He follows their route and ends up linking up with them on their travels.
Titus and Ygraine find themselves attracted to one another, despite the conventions of the time. They travel across France, Switzerland, and over the Alps into Romania. En route they encounter alchemists, poisoners, inquisitors, purported witches, and more - ending up at the castle of real-life historical figure VladDracul (meaning Dragon in Latin).

What a fantastic story I want Book 2 NOW
If you could sum up Changeling in three words, what would they be?
Addictive, mesmerising, with a touch of exotic
What was one of the most memorable moments of Changeling?
The character of Ishrak was so different she brings a whole new dimension to the book. Love that storyline.
What does Charlie Cox bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you had only read the book?
I thought Charlie did a fantastic job . I really hope he narrates the next two. I will be very disappointed if he doesn't .
Did you have an emotional reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?
No laughing or crying just totally mesmerised.
Any additional comments?
Bring on Books 2 and 3

A simple fun book
A light read (or listen) - almost a short story compared to other unabridged ones
The only issue is that books 2 and 3 are not available - only book 4 !!
