In tonight’s story, you are the long lost heir to the throne of the powerful kingdom of Brenindor. After years of not knowing your true identity, you have come into your own, reconnected with your bonded dragon, and set about claiming your inheritance. But without support or connections to the capitol, you find yourself unable to accomplish much. This, however, is all about to change with the arrival of an unexpected ally – who is also your greatest rival for the throne.

This tale is part of an ongoing medieval fantasy narrative set in the same realm across time and space. You don’t need to have heard all the other stories to understand this one, but you may recognize some of the characters and story threads. If you’d like to catch up, I recommend starting with The Dragon Rider or Tales by the Tavern Fire. I hope you enjoy.

If you’re still awake as the story comes to an end, I’ll guide you through some guided breathing for strength and transformation.

Stories like mine are best with headphones! For comfort and security when drifting off to sleep, SleepPhones are the best thing I've found. They won't fall out like earbuds, and they're not bulky or uncomfortable like most over-ear headphones.
