055. A Song of Wraiths and Ruin: “This is my mind. I am the strongest person here."

59 minutes

ACOFAE Podcast presents: A Song of Wraiths and Ruin

A book that doesn't seem to get the attention it deserves, A Song of Wraiths and Ruin is a story that you have and haven't heard before in the absolute best way.

The Solstasia Festival happens only once every 50 years and Princess Karina is in the center of it all. A beautiful exploration of grief and duty, love and ambition, the gods are real and active in Ziran and Malik can see them all. The book begins with the author listing the content and trigger warnings, in the print AND audio versions, and conversations are had and questions are raised. Join Laura Marie and Jessica Marie as they forever chant the praises of strong female characters AND delight in Malik being a different kind of male MC.
