In this twelfth episode of the World of Azuria podcast, our adventure takes a turn into the exciting pages of Buried Heroes, book one in the Age of Azuria series! The novel’s prologue features a familiar character—two, actually—one of our heroines and an undead villain, on the cusp of a change in the fate of Azuria.

Introduction

Hello adventurers,

And welcome to season two, episode one 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 the novel’s prologue, where we follow a familiar character on a dangerous quest. I am so excited to share this novel with you!

To find out what happens next before new episodes released every Tuesday, you can purchase Buried Heroes at bethballbooks.com/shop or at your favorite book retailer. 

Let’s start our adventure!
