Here's a brand new epic fantasy daily audiobook podcast from Broadsword Studio: Kings Folly!

When an earthquake tears open the mountain that has protected the entire country from what lies on the other side, two unlikely messengers are sent north: Jonny Smith, a blacksmith's son who has spent his life pursuing magic, and Sam, a hunter who reads the wilderness like a language she was born knowing. Their mission is simple—reach the capital and warn it of what's coming through the newly created pass before they arrive, Mountain Warriors. The terrain they face will make it anything but.

Kings Folly is a daily, short-form, serial epic fantasy audiobook told from the perspectives of a ruthless tracker and a disillusioned magic-user. Each 5-15 minute episode is a ground-level chronicle of survival, following the duo through hostile marshlands, brutal creature encounters, and their desperate gamble to save a home that already abandoned them.
