The Charwomans Shadow by Lord Dunsany audiobook.

Genre: fantasy

In a fairy-tale Spain of proud towers, dusty roads, and old church bells, young Ramon Alonzo is sent away by his impoverished father, Gonsalvo, Lord of the Tower, with one urgent task: learn enough sorcery to turn lead into gold and save the family's honor with a proper dowry. His destination is a secluded magician whose house is as unsettling as it is wondrous, and whose servants include a bent old charwoman with one impossible absence: she has no shadow. The villagers fear her, the magician owns what she lost, and the price of learning the Black Art proves higher than Ramon ever imagined. When the wizard demands payment that touches the soul as well as the body, Ramon must navigate bargains, deception, and the strict judgments of priests and nobles alike, all while his sister's fate and a dangerous experiment in love-magic draw powerful strangers into the family's orbit. As Ramon struggles to set right what the magician has stolen, Dunsany spins a luminous fable about conscience, social rank, and what a person is worth when the light falls at the wrong hour.
