Karyne (00:00:07) - Hi fantasy readers. This is Karyne Norton, your fellow book binger, and you are listening to the Finding Fantasy Reads podcast where you can test out a new fantasy story every single week to find your next favorite author.

You'll want to stick around for today's story if you like sailing, unusual magic, and protective siblings. Alisha Klapheke is a USA Today bestselling author who wants to infuse readers' lives with unique magic, far flung-fantasy settings, and romance. Her inspiration springs from an obsession with history, years of world travel, and the fantasy she grew up reading when she was supposed to be doing her math homework.

Stick around to the end or check out today's show notes to see where you can find more from Alisha. For now, please enjoy Claimed by Alisha Klapheke.

If you haven't already, please subscribe to the Finding Fantasy Reads podcast in whatever platform you prefer. It lets you automatically download new episodes as they come in, but it also helps increase the podcast's visibility on podcast platforms, which helps both authors and listeners find the show. Long story short, it means the podcast can continue to give you more short stories for even longer. I've made it easy for you with links to the most popular ones on findingfantasyreads.com.

As always, thank you for listening and happy reading.
