Bribes, Cheats, and Hushed News: Buried Heroes, Age of Azuria Book one, Chapter Nineteen

In episode twenty-five of The Storyverse of Verdigris, Iellieth and Marcon get to the bottom of the mayor's strange behavior in Trudid and make several interesting first impressions.

Introduction

Hello adventurers, and welcome to season two, episode twenty-five of the recently renamed Storyverse of Verdigris podcast! My name is Beth Ball, and I'm an epic fantasy author and game designer weaving tales of magic and adventure across the high fantasy worlds of Azuria and Eldura. 

In season two of our podcast, we’re traveling through Buried Heroes, book one in the Age of Azuria epic fantasy series, though occasionally I’ll share previews of other interconnected stories across the storyverse! 

If you enjoy epic fantasy worlds, immersive settings, nature-based magic, and vivid characters, then this podcast is for you. 

In today’s episode, Iellieth and Marcon finally reach the town of Trudid and attempt to get to the bottom of the mayor’s strange behavior as part of their efforts to halt the aggressive logging of the Stormside Forest. 

I’m so excited to be diving back into Buried Heroes with you! If you’d like to find out what happens next before our next episode is released, visit bethballbooks.com/shop and pick up your copy of Buried Heroes or find it in paperback, hardcover, or ebook at your favorite bookstore! Woohoo!    

Let’s start our adventure!
