Episode seventeen of the World of Azuria podcast picks up with Iellieth falling through the air after releasing the rope that led to the lower chamber of the mountain hideaway she discovered.

Introduction

Hello adventurers,

And welcome to season two, episode seven 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. Today, I’ll be reading from Chapter Five, where we pick back up with Iellieth as she lets go of the rope dangling inside this frozen chamber deep in the mountains. 

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!
