The Strangefells:

The Podcast

Paradise Afterglow

The war between humans and Strangers provided a perfect opportunity for hidden darkness to rise. Criminal underworlds, dimensions outside of time and our reality, the organizations that step in to keep the peace when the usual channels are unavailable, secret societies hiding in the wings.

In the forgotten places of the Strangefells, the darkness of war creates a ripple effect that bleeds into the everyday, catching unsuspecting people in its wake, in the irresistible glow that lingers long after the lights go out.

Every day must be fought for and anyone who enters this crucible will not leave unchanged, if they leave at all. As the darkness creeps closer and the rot sets in, every paradise fades.

These are some of the people caught in the afterglow.

  • A reluctant necromancer and her monstrous sidekick get drawn into the criminal underworld after an attempted rescue goes awry.

  • A human enforcer trying to survive among Strangers becomes one of the monsters among us.

  • A fae warrior–one of the longest held inmates in the Clave–tries to escape her past and seek justice for her future.

  • A soldier that fought at Evyn Urquhart’s side against Malea and Amara, gets lost in a rift between worlds, and searches for a way home.

desiderium (noun): an ardent longing, as for  something lost

I used to be the top mercenary in the Strangefells. Now I’m mundane, vulnerable, and living on borrowed time.

A lesson I’m learning in spades? Powerlessness doesn’t mean peace. The King of the Unseelie is circling, but he’s only one of many waiting for my downfall. 

But there is hope. 

The Brotherhood of Levi, in their legendary madness, may hold the key to recovering my magick. It’s up to me to find answers, but the deeper I dig into the mystery, the worse everything gets. The answers lie in long lost knowledge and the Brotherhoods hidden monastery, just for a start.

And all of it leads straight back to dark matter, which I’m quickly finding isn’t at all what I thought it to be.

The Strangefells:

Primordial Embers

Everyone assumes time travel would be a gift… but I wonder if they’d feel the same way if they knew  about the strings attached.

The only reason I exist is to help monsters escape  from their prison. I’m a construct, forged from the  ether and cosmic ash and given human form. My  maker? The Titan, Kronos. I’m sure his reputation  precedes him.

They never meant for their tool to have a mind of itsown, to want a life outside of plotting a prison  break from the most notorious dungeon in the seven hells. Tartarus. 

Unfortunately for them, I’m not inclined to help.  They got themselves locked away for good reason.  At least that’s what I always thought. Now I’m  second guessing everything I believed about my  mission. The people I knew as allies are looking a lotlike enemies, and those I was taught to view as an  ultimate evil settle an unrest within me I've felt for  a century.

What is this connection? Am I being fooled and  manipulated, or is the truth altogether different?  And if everything I thought I knew is a lie, who’s the real enemy?

Trickster's Ashes is the first season of the Primordial Embers podcast. It's based on the (completed)  Primordial Embers book series by Gwydion Royce. This is a reverse harem fantasy romance series, but  the fight scenes, gore, language and spice will be  toned down for the podcast. For the unedited story, check out the books, starting with Trickster's Ashes. Each episode will feature music and mood  setting background ambience so you can immerse  yourself in the story.

New episodes every week! Podcast is best enjoyed  with headphones.
