The Near Witch Audiobook (Free)

‘The Near Witch’ is only an old tale told to frighten children.

If the wind calls during the night, you must not listen. The wind is lonely, and always searching for company.

There are no strangers in the town of Near.

They are the truths that Lexi has heard all her existence.

But when an actual stranger, a guy who appears to fade like smoke, appears outside her home around the moor at night, she knows that at least among these sayings is no more true.

Another night, the kids of Near start about The Close to Witch disappearing from their beds, and the mysterious boy falls under suspicion.

As the hunt for the children intensifies, so does Lexi’s need to know about the witch that just might be more than a bedtime story, about the wind that appears to speak through the walls at night, and about the history of this nameless boy.

Part fairy tale, part love tale, Victoria Schwab’s debut novel is entirely first yet achingly familiar: a tune you heard long ago, a whisper carried from the blowing wind, and a desire you won’t soon forget.

This new edition of The Near Witch also included the in-universe short story ‘The Ash-Born Boy’ and a never-before-seen introduction from V. E. Schwab.
