The Weeping Tide

Written by Amanda Foody

Narrated by Steve West

Barclay and his friends must save an island city from the Legendary Beast of the Sea in this “charming and earnest” (Kirkus Reviews) sequel to the New York Times bestselling The Accidental Apprentice, perfect for fans of Nevermoor and How to Train Your Dragon.

Something is wrong at the Sea. The weeping tide, a carnivorous algae bloom, is eating up all the fish. Beasts are terrorizing the nearby Elsewheres. And Lochmordra, the Legendary Beast, is rising at random and swallowing ships whole.

Barclay’s teacher, the famous Guardian Keeper Runa Rasgar, has been summoned to investigate, and as her apprentice, Barclay gets to join too. But Runa’s nemesis has also been called to the Sea, and he’s brought apprentices of his own. When the not-so-friendly competition between them grows fierce, it’s Barclay—the only one from the Elsewheres—who can’t seem to keep up.

The key to stopping Lochmordra lies in his mythical home, but as the flood of the weeping tide encroaches, time is running out to find it. If the rival groups can’t cast aside old grudges and learn to work together, soon the Sea will be destroyed completely. And all the while Barclay must ask himself: is there truly a place for him in the Wilderlands?

Reviews for The Weeping Tide

[Sumit · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

This is a wonderful book. I read it like multiple times. I really love this series, and I’m waiting for the next book to come out. Good for 9+ years.

It’s a great book and I enjoyed this series as well. The only problem I have with it is that I don’t think the author has their facts straight about pressure and just what happens in water in general. Still, great book.

[Becky Baumgartner · Rating: 4 out of 5 stars]

Another fun and imaginative adventure with the group of magical apprentices as they try to help the adults figure out what has sea beasts attacking islands. The narrator does an amazing job with the array of voices.

[RV · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

A must read for fantasy fans. Some parts were SO intense! I even, for a couple seconds, turned the speed up to 2.5!?
