I have a special treat for you today: A preview of Chapter 4, where Akmael and Eolyn meet for the first time. Their encounter is made possible by an amulet left to Akmael by his deceased mother, Queen Briana. (You can read more about Briana's death and the gift she left to her son in Chapter 3.) The amulet transports Akmael to the distant South Woods, where he finds Eolyn playing on the banks of the Tarba River. (To learn about the river that inspired this scene, read my June 25 post, Rivers of Destiny.) This audio recording is from the reading I did yesterday for the Longview Literary Festival, and includes one scene from Chapter 4. I hope you enjoy it!
