In episode twenty-seven of the World of Azuria podcast, Teodric returns home to Nortelon. Much remains as it has been since his family's banishment, but a prophesy foretells change upon the horizon.  

Introduction

Hello adventurers,

And welcome to season two, episode seventeen 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. In today’s episode, we return to Teodric’s adventures as he makes his way home in the city of Nortelon, having just been named captain of his own vessel by the dread pirate queen Syleste.  

But before we dive in, I wanted to take a moment to say thank you to those who have left a rating or review of the podcast! You taking the time to do so means so much to me! If your podcast app supports ratings and/or reviews, please take a moment to share what you enjoy about the show! If it doesn’t, please do subscribe and share the episode with a friend who enjoys epic fantasy! 

Also, I apologize for the gap between our most recent episodes. My usual recording times got co-opted becasue we’ve just bought our first house—yay!—and we’ll be moving at the end of the week. So soon I’ll be speaking to you from a totally different spot!  

To find out what happens next before new episodes are released every Tuesday, you can find Buried Heroes at bethballbooks.com/shop or at your favorite book retailer. It’s now available for free!

Let’s start our adventure!
