Carry On (2015) Earphones Award

Carry On book cover by Rainbow Rowell

Simon Snow is the worst Chosen One who's ever been chosen. It's his last year at the Watford School of Magicks, his roommate Baz might be evil (and a vampire), his mentor is avoiding him, and there's a magic-eating monster wearing his face. Carry On is a ghost story, a love story, and a mystery—with just as much kissing and talking as you'd expect from Rainbow Rowell, but far more monsters.

"There's something spellbinding about Euan Morton's voice, which is only appropriate for this novel set in magical England... As the story builds, there are plenty of moments of intrigue and romance that will have listeners catching their breath. Through it all, Morton stays in perfect, sympathetic step."
— AudioFile Magazine (Earphones Award winner)
"Scottish actor Euan Morton narrates and does a stunning job, especially with the complex characters of Simon and Baz... An essential purchase for fans of Harry Potter and Rainbow Rowell, as well as lovers of fantasy."
— School Library Journal (starred review)

Wayward Son (2019) Earphones Award

Wayward Son book cover by Rainbow Rowell

Simon Snow is coming to America. The story is supposed to be over—he beat the villain, he won the war. So why can't he get off the couch? At his friends' urging, Simon, Penny, and Baz end up in a vintage convertible, tearing across the American West, encountering dragons, vampires, and creatures with shotguns along the way.

"Euan Morton brings his exceptional narration skills to Rowell's highly anticipated sequel... Morton brings distinct voices and emotions to every character—from posh vampire Baz's deep frustration to fast-talking wizard Penelope's snappy repartee. Listeners will be hard-pressed to believe they aren't listening to a full-cast production."
— AudioFile Magazine (Earphones Award winner, Best Audiobook 2019)
"A marvelously spellbinding tale with all the wit and heart that fans have come to expect."
— Kirkus Reviews

Any Way the Wind Blows (2021) Earphones Award

Any Way the Wind Blows book cover by Rainbow Rowell

The epic conclusion to the Simon Snow trilogy. Simon and Baz and Penelope and Agatha must decide how to move forward. For Simon, that means deciding whether he still wants to be part of the World of Mages—and what that means for his future. This audiobook is a finale about catharsis and closure, and how we choose to move on from the traumas and triumphs that try to define us.

"Euan Morton returns to narrate the final installment in the Simon Snow series. Morton's exceptional talent shines as he modulates between European and American accents and seamlessly shifts tones to bring each distinct character to life... Full of intense passion, this conclusion should not be missed."
— AudioFile Magazine (Earphones Award winner, Best Audiobook 2021)

Scattered Showers (2022)

Scattered Showers book cover by Rainbow Rowell

Rainbow Rowell's first short story collection features nine beautifully crafted love stories, co-narrated by Euan Morton and Rebecca Lowman. Morton narrates "Snow for Christmas," a holiday story featuring Simon and Baz that reunites him with the beloved characters from the Simon Snow trilogy.

"Euan Morton, who previously narrated Rowell's Simon Snow series, delivers a short story featuring Simon and Baz, two favorite Rowell characters. Mostly set in winter, the stories make for warm seasonal listening."
— AudioFile Magazine
