The Long Night

In The Long Night, Stanley John Weyman unfolds a shadowy tale of intrigue and conscience set against the ramparts of Geneva. A gripping work of historical fiction and classic literature, Weyman weaves a story of a young theology student, mysterious remedies, and a city poised between faith and danger. Against the smoky streets and gates of Geneva, characters from humble tailors to enigmatic alchemists and soldiers collide in a tightly plotted narrative of secret bargains, vanished cures, and moral choices. Themes of loyalty, identity, and the clash of reason and superstition thread through scenes of auctions, clandestine rooms, and dramatic confrontations. Weyman’s evocative portrait of a Reformation-era city brings period detail to life while sustaining a slow-burning mystery—no spoilers, only atmosphere and tension. Ideal for listeners who love historical fiction, literary classics, and richly atmospheric audiobooks, The Long Night rewards patience with elegant prose, layered characters, and a compelling sense of time and place. Tune in for a thoughtful, suspenseful journey into history that will appeal to fans of period intrigue and carefully crafted storytelling.
