About this listen

FOR PAULA, ACCOMPANYING her merchant father on a trading voyage to Istanbul is a dream come true. They have come to this city of trade on a special mission to purchase a most rare artifact—a gift from the ancient goddess, Cybele, to her followers. It’s the only remnant of a lost, pagan cult.

But no sooner have they arrived when it becomes clear they may be playing at a dangerous game. A colleague and friend of Paula’s father is found murdered. There are rumors of Cybele’s cult reviving within the very walls of Istanbul. And most telling of all, signs have begun to appear to Paula, urging her to unlock Cybele’s secret.

Meanwhile, Paula doesn’t know who she can trust in Istanbul, and finds herself drawn to two very different men. As time begins to run out, Paula realizes they may all be tied up in the destiny of Cybele’s Gift, and she must solve the puzzle before unknown but deadly enemies catch up to her. . . .

Critic reviews

Starred Review, Booklist, July 1, 2008: “Teens who didn’t know Marillier when they started this sandalwood-scented adventure will rapidly place her alongside the likes of romantic-fantasy idols Shannon Hale and Sharon Shinn.”

Great

Where does Cybele's Secret rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

This is definitely one of my favourites.

What did you like best about this story?

It has mystery, suspense, action, romance . I couldn't put it down. I also love the narrators accents. One of the best narrators I've listened to.

Which scene did you most enjoy?

without giving to much of the story away. I liked the challenges.

Any additional comments?

I cannot understand why this book is available on audible and the first book in this series 'Wildwood Dancing' is not. That is her sister Jena's story which explains what happened to Tati in more detail for anyone who's curious.

The chapters were also a little long. Which made it impossible to leave the story in a good place. Although I barely put the book down anyway.
