Episode thirteen of the World of Azuria podcast takes us into the gardens and halls of Io Keep in the kingdom of Linolynn. Here, Iellieth Amastacia bids farewell to her friend and mentor, Katarina, before traveling to the northern kingdom of Hadvar and a forced marriage later that afternoon.
Introduction
Hello adventurers,
And welcome to season two, episode two of the World of Azuria podcast. My name is Beth Ball, and I’m the author of the Age of Azuria epic fantasy series, which we’ll be exploring in this show. In some episodes, we’ll be swept away into the magical world of Azuria as I read chapters from the novels and stories. In others, we’ll dive into the lore behind Azuria, and I’ll answer your questions about the world, characters, and more.
If you enjoy epic fantasy worlds, immersive settings, nature-based magic, and vivid characters, then this podcast is for you.
In our second season, we’re traveling through Buried Heroes, book one in the Age of Azuria series. This episode covers chapter one, where we find the protected child from Aurora, Iellieth Amastacia, saying her goodbyes before leaving Io Keep for a marriage insisted upon by her stepfather, Duke Calderon Amastacia.
To find out what happens next before new episodes release every Tuesday, you can purchase Buried Heroes at bethballbooks.com/shop or at your favorite book retailer.
Let’s start our adventure!
