About this listen

The third adventure in the beloved fantasy series full of folklore and mayhem, from the creator of Jackaby.

Brothers Cole and Tinn are determined to solve a mystery almost as old as they are: What happened to their long-missing father?

Joseph Burton vanished without a trace, leaving the babies’ mother to raise them—one human, one a goblin changeling—alone. Some say Joseph abandoned his family, others that he met foul play looking for a way to get rid of the changeling imposter. Cole is determined to learn his father’s true fate, so he and Tinn set out on a dangerous quest to the deepest, most deadly limits of the Oddmire—with the help of Evie, expert on the creatures of the Wild Wood, and Fable, the indomitable half human, half fairy.

Meanwhile a shudder runs through the forest. Increasingly powerful earthquakes shake the land, sinkholes form, and the spriggans, trolls, and other creatures along their path speak of an ancient evil on the rise . . .

In the third book of the Oddmire series, New York Times bestselling author William Ritter takes listeners on an unforgettable journey of family, fate, and a dangerous, magical forest.

Critic Reviews

“In a lovely, successful inversion of expectation, the boys and their friends bring protective adult family along on their dangerous adventure . . . Cinematic adventure and hope amid darkness, flavored with silliness: a winner.”Kirkus Reviews, starred review

“Populated by a variety of folkloric beings such as spriggans, elves, nymphs, goblins, kobbolds, and fairies, along with a few humans, Ritter’s fantasy offers plenty of playful interest as a world of its own. Black-and-white spot illustrations enhance the immersive qualities of setting and action.”—The Horn Book Magazine

Ritter's best by far

Unready Queen came out exactly one year ago and I have waited for Deepest Darkest since. I was not dissapointed at all and listened to it all in less than a day after the release.
Ritter's writing and Jonathan Todd Ross's narrating is off the charts as always and I cannot overstate how much pure joy this book gave me. This is a story for any age and I would reccomend to everyone who likes wholesome fantasy stories.
10/10 would read again. 10/10 would recomend. 10/10 dopamine provider.
