Book description
Escape Into a World Where Heroes Are Made-and Tested
Seanan McGuire's Across the Green Grass Fields gallops into your imagination with the grace of a unicorn and the heart of a true adventure. This sixth installment in the Wayward Children series proves once again why McGuire is a master at creating portals we never want to leave.
Regan's journey begins when she steps through a mysterious doorway into the Hooflands-a realm where centaurs, unicorns, and kelpies roam freely, and every human visitor is expected to become a hero. But this isn't just another fantasy quest. McGuire weaves a tale that challenges what it means to be heroic, showing that not all quests are as straightforward as they appear.
The audiobook format brings McGuire's equine world to vivid life. Every hoofbeat, every whispered warning from the magical creatures, immerses you deeper into a landscape that feels both wondrous and dangerous. The narrator captures Regan's growth from uncertain visitor to someone who must make difficult choices about what kind of hero she wants to be.
What makes this standalone story particularly compelling is how it explores the complexity of heroism. Regan discovers that being brave doesn't always mean charging into battle-sometimes it means questioning the quest itself. The Hooflands demand more than physical courage; they require moral clarity in a world where right and wrong aren't clearly marked trails.
Perfect for newcomers to the Wayward Children universe and longtime fans alike, this audiobook delivers McGuire's signature blend of beautiful prose and sharp emotional insight. The production quality ensures every moment of wonder and tension comes through clearly.
If you've ever dreamed of stepping through a doorway to a magical realm, Across the Green Grass Fields offers that escape-while reminding us that the most important journeys happen within ourselves. Don't just listen-gallop into adventure.
