Presenting: The Kingmaker Histories

Episode 3: Remedial Haggling

Hey Friends! This week, we’re excited to share a fantastic steampunk fantasy fiction podcast that we adore, The Kingmaker Histories, produced by We Are Not Alone and created by our friend Meg Molloy Tuten.

Set in a fictional European republic in the years leading up to World War One, The Kingmaker Histories follows an assistant tailor named Colette who becomes the unwitting host for a deadly alien power source- the Kingmaker Diamond. Hunted by a host of enemies who wish to use her powers for their own gain, Colette's only hope is to join up with a pair of career criminals and embark on a bizarre road trip, smuggling and thieving across Belle Epoque Europe as she seeks to get rid of her lethal new head-mate.
