Road Talk (S03E04)

The Dark Razor Chronicles A fantasy–science fiction podcast series The Dark Razor Chronicles is a genre-defying saga of magic, ancient technology, gods, monsters, oaths, and war—a sweeping fantasy–science fiction podcast adapted from a twelve-novel series over forty years in the making. This is a world where nothing stays buried. Not memory. Not power. Not the past. Forged before history, the Costa Novacula—the Dark Razor—is a soul-reactive weapon with hidden potential. It is not cursed. It does not thirst. It waits. Some believe it judges the worthy. Others believe it simply reveals the truth. Throughout the ages of humanity’s greatest empires, its greatest leaders, discoveries, and weapons—it was there. The story begins with: Sharael Maldeen — a woman betrayed, bent to task, Magis of the White Circle. Cullen Aven — sworn to an oath his family no longer remembers, bound by loyalty and guilt, drawn toward something he cannot name. They are searching for truth. Tangled in time. Hunted. Marked. Remembered. Their fates are intertwined by something older than magic—older than time.
