An evil queen and a deadly plague threaten to destroy the kingdom of Muirwood.

Rising from her humble beginnings as a lost orphan of Muirwood Abbey, Lia is summoned to return as the Abbey’s protector and special guardian for Ellowyn Demont, the lost heir of the fallen kingdom of Pry-Ree. After the death of the ruthless king at the battle of Winterrowd, the great Aldermaston and Abbey leader calls on Lia to use her mystical talents to save Muirwood from two new threats—a vengeful queen accusing the Aldermaston of her husband’s death, and a deadly plague threatening to destroy the land. Amidst the turmoil, a battle ensues, and soon Lia learns the world’s magic has begun to falter. As a blanket of dread envelops the Abbey, hopes are tested and Lia will be forced to come to terms with a secret that will change her life forever.

Revised edition: This edition of The Blight of Muirwood includes editorial revisions.

The second in this series is at least as good as the first. Great story and cast of characters. A really enjoyable read.

2nd book in the series even better than the 1st! Lots of plot twists, character development and action. Creative and different magic than standard fantasy. Really enjoyed this and looking forward to book 3!

It holds your attention. Can wait to read the next one. What will happen with Lia(Ellowyn) and Colvin.

Enjoyed this story of a new “world”. The rules of how to function are interesting and made me think while reading. The notion of an all knowing force that controls people is not considered religious. It is a factual description combined with feelings and a star-wars like force. This story also teaches people to “listen” to and “use” the force. This story describes a rich use of fantasy and is enjoyable to read. My only criticism is the author does not always make it clear who is speaking during a particular sequence.

I enjoyed this book tremendously. It was exciting, touching, intriguing, and all around entertaining. It was also hard to put down because I could not wait to see where the story was taking me. And, while I am not one who seeks out novels that center on romance, this book had a lovely amount of that that as well. What an engrossing and satisfying read. I highly recommend it and I will be going on to the third book in this series as well as polishing off the other series as well. Thank you Jeff Wheeler for enriching my day!

Not quite as good as the first, but close

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on February 4, 2021

I love the Muirwood series. This book is not quite as good as the first one, but it’s close.

The Blight of Muirwood is a somewhat complicated story. It is the middle book of a trilogy, so that doesn’t help. To understand it better, it helps to have read the first book in the series, The Wretched of Muirwood first.

Muirwood Abbey is a school where scholars learn to read and write and to wield the phenomenon known as the Medium. Part magic, part mystical knowledge, and part Higher Power, The Medium is intimately intertwined with everything at Muirwood and the lands around it. It is sort of like the Force in Star Wars.

Lia is what is known as a Wretched – an orphan with no discernable family. At least that is how it appears. As such, she was never allowed to join the learners at the Abbey and never allowed to learn to read or write. Yet, in the first book, we learned that she has an unusually strong connection to the Medium. This is the driving force for her adventures this time, as it was in the previous book. This time, she is given the position of the Abbey’s Hunter, replacing Jon Hunter, who was killed in the previous book. It is her job to protect the Abbey and important people and things belonging to it.

Also, in the previous book, Lia fell in love with Colvin Price, the young Earl of Forshee, who accompanied her on her adventures at that time. He had promised to dance with her at the village festival on the next Whitsunday.
Unfortunately, Colvin’s duties prevent him from keeping his promise, and Lia is heartbroken despite her own new duties. When he does finally show up again, it is in the company of a young lady, also a Wretched, who, it has been determined is not a Wretched but a princess and who, for reasons of policy, it looks like Colvin will need to eventually marry. In the meantime, he is to be in charge of protecting her on the next stage of her journey.

Naturally, Lia is jealous. I was impressed that she resolutely recognized not only her jealousy but also that it could have the effect of eroding her connection to the Medium. She resolves to overcome the feeling and to help guard the other girl when she needs to as well.

There follows a long, complicated journey to another Abbey, during which Lia learns that all the Abbeys in the country are in danger. She also learns just enough of her own origins to enable her to begin to guess at the truth of them.

What a good book!

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on November 18, 2022

Verified Purchase

Jeff Wheeler knows how to craft a story like nobody’s business. I’ve read four series by him now. And yet, every time, I get caught up in the story and swept along by all of the plot lines and great characters. I love when I have books of his to read. Thank you Jeff Wheeler for giving such a great gift.

good read, Colvin is a bit one-dimensional

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on April 23, 2022

Verified Purchase

Having visited Tintern Abbey in person before reading this book, I can say with certainty it is not exactly ‘nestled’ in a valley. The abbey itself is MAJESTIC and one of the most beautiful ruins I’ve ever seen. There are hills, not mountains surrounding it, and the landscape is quite flat (ie, no cliffs). That being said, I suppose I shouldn’t judge a fantasy book for its geographical accuracy.

I enjoyed Lia’s character very much, though literally every other character had more dimensions than Colvin, who does nothing other than clench his jaw, over and over again. The author keeps the adventure going at a fast pace, and I’m hoping the third book in this trilogy has Colvin do more than clench his jaw. At least Lia is bound to do something meaningful.

Disappointing

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on May 2, 2022

Verified Purchase

I really enjoyed the first in the series but second was a real disappointment. It was so full of teenage angst and all the melodrama of YA fantasy that I struggled to get through it. What bothered me more though was the less than subtle references to Christianity with all the talk of apples and first parents. It felt like there were no nuances, no shades of grey. It was all good vs evil with the medium magically telling everyone what to do. I don't think I'll be reading the next in the series.

This continues with the story of lia and her relationship with colvin. Who is she and where did she come from.
This books aims to answer some these questions.
Reasonbly compelling sequel will go and get the third.

Lia's journey

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on November 26, 2014

Verified Purchase

This second part of Lia's story took a while to get going, with some very teenage sections early on. Her relationship with Colvin doesn't ring true. He never smiles, just clenches his jaw to contain his anger.

The writing is reasonable, nothing too amazing. The fantasy world is not described in any great evocative detail - it's just a competently written and structured novel, which is a fairly good read. It's strong points are again the spiritual, Christian inspired content, and Lia's honourable motivations - a character you can actually root for, which is sadly too rare in modern fiction.

Worth reading.
