About this listen
"You will be trapped in stone forevermore, your beauty hidden by a façade so ugly that people will not like to look upon it. You will feel, but you will not be able to speak. You will hear, but you will not be able to communicate. You will endure across the ages, a silent witness to the decades that go by".
François Damont’s only crime was loving the son of a witch in a time when it wasn’t permitted. For that sin, he’s been cursed to spend eternity locked inside the body of a gargoyle. A chance to break the curse comes only once every 25 years, lasting for no longer than 28 days. He’s been unsuccessful for hundreds of years. Why would this time be any different?
History lecturer Daniel Smith is still reeling from a broken marriage when he stumbles across a mysterious man. Frankie might be hiding something, but the connection between them is too strong to ignore. Can he unlock the mystery before it’s too late?
Strange dreams. Dark forces. People who may not be what they seem. Time is not the only thing against them. And perhaps Daniel knows more than he thinks he does
A sweet MM paranormal romance featuring magic, witches, and a relationship that might just be able to endure anything.

Wow, this was so EPIC!!!
In rural France in the 1500s, François Damont incurs the wrath of a witch when she discovers his “unnatural” love for her son and imprisons him in the stone body of a hideous gargoyle for eternity. Tantalisingly, François is given a taste of freedom for 28 days every 25 years and if he can find true love the curse will be broken. Centuries later, a heartbroken François has tried everything. While some men have professed love, he is always returned to his stone prison. Will things be different with the recently divorced and slightly rumpled history professor, Daniel Smith? I loved the opening historical scenes, the magic, and the fated love but I especially loved Daniel, he was thoroughly down-to-earth and decent, so well-intentioned and kind. HL Day is a really creative author whose romances span a lot of different genres - I loved the ideas here and how she tied everything together. I hope to hear a lot more from audio narrator Jake Whalley, he pulled off François’s French accent and Daniel’s regional UK voice perfectly!
