What to expect
Brand, a jaded, fast-talking ex-thief with a shaky moral compass and a total disbelief in magic, and his unlikely companions—Cil, a female gladiator, equally rugged, beautiful, and cantankerous; Berengar, a gigantic northerner, equal parts lighthearted, ridiculous, murderous, and profound; and Alucard, a two-foot-tall fish-man magical experiment, who happens to be the only one able to master the art of magic—embark on a fast-paced, bizarre, humorous, and at times terrifying adventure through an immersive yet decadent fantasy world set 2.5 million years ago on Earth.
The Living Light: From Gods to Ashes is full of immoral, quirky humans; innocent yet deadly monsters; and a rigid magical system with a dark moral flaw at its core. A blend of dark fantasy adventure, absurdist humor, cosmic mystery, and sword-swinging action, listeners will be engrossed in realistic and enjoyable small-talk moments weaved into a grand, world-building tapestry.
