Of Ashes Born: A Reading

Being the complete audio version of an epic fantasy novella.

This is just a quick note to mention that I have now attached audio clips to each of the instalments of the novella, Of Ashes Born, which was serialised last year. The complete recording (an hour and forty-three minutes in length) is attached here:

(To read or listen to the novella one instalment at a time, start here.)

For those hearing about Of Ashes Born for the first time, it is an epic fantasy novella with a focus on truth and hope. Here’s a blurb:

Toran yearns for a world where his kinsmen no longer bring fire, fear and death to the islands around them — and the time has now come to say a prayer and make his move. Will his revolution bring reconciliation, or only further destruction and despair?

It’s fast, a little gritty and concerns itself with themes of rebellion, romance and redemption.

Thanks for tuning in, and happy listening.
