Buried Heroes, Age of Azuria Book One, Chapter Seven

Episode nineteen of the World of Azuria podcast takes us into the heart of Mara's enclave where we find a newly revived Marcon and Iellieth inside the druid's home and learn more about what’s going on with Iellieth’s amulet!

Introduction

Hello adventurers,

And welcome to season two, episode nine of the World of Azuria podcast. My name is Beth Ball, and I’m the author of the Age of Azuria epic fantasy series, which we’ll be exploring in this show. In some episodes, we’ll be swept away into the magical world of Azuria as I read chapters from the novels and stories. In others, we’ll dive into the lore behind Azuria, and I’ll answer your questions about the world, characters, and more. 

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

In our second season, we’re traveling through Buried Heroes, book one in the Age of Azuria series. Today, I’ll be reading from Chapter Seven, where we find Iellieth and Marcon in Mara's hut. Mara reveals that Marcon is from the distant past, and Iellieth ponders his connection to her amulet.

To find out what happens next before new episodes are released every Tuesday, you can find Buried Heroes at bethballbooks.com/shop or at your favorite book retailer. It’s now available for free!

Let’s start our adventure!
