An enchanting start to this series. A gentle slow burn mystery unfolds as friends rally to protect a legacy and a very special ancient oak tree. The story moves between events in the past and the modern day. Evocative and immersive, the narrator brings life to the characters, each of whom is clearly distinguished. I especially liked that the accent of the betrayer caused me to dislike them immediately. The magic system is well thought out and consistent with general beliefs concerning Gaia, the Earth Goddess. The description of the Tarot readings prompted me to check my own deck of cards and review their meanings. The threat that brought the protagonists together births The Moons & Runes Private Investigation Agency. Moons & Runes Investigation awaits its next case. I am so looking forward to the next audio book in this series.
