    This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice.  The Pendle Witches England 1600's 
    Book 3 of 7  Elizabeth Device 
     
    The books are fictionally based on the true names and part facts of seven of the accused witches involved being sentenced to death mostly, although innocent, and is as follows: 
     
    Elizabeth Device, a struggling widow in 1600s Lancashire, fought to protect her family after her daughter Alizon was accused of cursing a peddler. As whispers of witchcraft grew, Elizabeth's world collapsed—her mother, Old Demdike, died in prison, and her son James spoke recklessly of spirits. A family gathering at Malkin Tower was twisted into tales of a witches' sabbath by fearful neighbors. The final blow came when Elizabeth's nine-year-old daughter Jennet, likely coerced, testified against her in court, describing imaginary familiars and curses. Despite a spectral dog's offer of freedom in exchange for Jennet's life, Elizabeth refused to betray her child, even as the noose tightened around her neck. On August 20, 1612, she was hanged at Lancaster Castle, her dying words a curse not on Jennet, but on the injustice that turned daughter against mother. Her story endures as a haunting reminder of the Pendle witch trials' cruellest betrayal.

    I have worked very hard and meticulously to provide you with an enjoyable experience, the initial opening credit music which does run to approximately 2  minutes plus, called Haunting Elegy, uses flute and harp to set the scene of witches living life as they could. The closing music ends in a sad way, called Melancholy same instrumental at nearly 3 minutes as the fate that befalls these innocent people awaits them.!

    When the elevator cable snapped, Tasha and her coworkers thought they were about to die. 
    Instead, the doors opened onto a nightmare. 
    A stone corridor. The smell of blood. Mangled bodies. And monsters that shouldn’t exist outside of legends. With no way back and every path forcing them forward, a group of ordinary office workers is shoved into an impossible fantasy world—one that feels eerily like a game…except the pain is real, and death doesn’t reset. 
    Arnold Stetson—a retired Army Major turned corporate executive—takes command. Captain Jiro Sato watches their backs. And Tasha discovers that fear isn’t the only thing rising inside her. As enchanted weapons awaken and strange abilities surface, the team is forced to become something they never trained to be: a party. 
    But the deeper they venture, the more one question gnaws at them: 
    If this wasn’t an accident…who built it?
