ANNOUNCEMENT: Our 5-YEAR ANNIVERSARY + Patreon Bonus Spectacular

At the Penumbra, you might follow Juno Steel, a brooding, sharp-witted private eye on Mars, as he tangles with an elusive homme fatale, tracks dangerous artifacts of an ancient alien civilization, and faces his three greatest fears: heights, blood, and relationships. Or you might enter the world of the Second Citadel, where the merciless Sir Caroline must corral a team of emotionally distraught all-male knights to defend their city against mind-manipulating monsters...even the ones they’ve fallen in love with. These audio dramas and more await you in the Penumbra, dear traveler. We hope you enjoy your stay. (Start with &#34;1.01: Juno Steel and the Case of the Murderous Mask&#34; or &#34;1.09: Second Citadel - The Head of the Janus Beast.&#34;) The Penumbra is created and produced by Harley Takagi Kaner and Kevin Vibert.

5.23: Juno Steel and the Thief's Honor (Part 2)

It's difficult to stay sane while you're in two simultaneous life-or-death situations, but Juno Steel is doing his best. With the Ruby 7 psychically splitting his attention between two places -- one where he is imprisoned and experimented on by Dokana executives; another where Nureyev must argue to save Juno's life -- things are looking pretty grim. And with each passing day, the executives draw closer to isolating what they need from Juno... which means that each day, they draw closer and closer to disposing of him entirely.

The Second Citadel has stood, tall and proud, in the Northern Wilds for centuries. It is the bastion of humanity in the region, a settlement carved out from an unforgiving land.
