About this listen
Set in the Age of Waiting on Tessalindria, this story is about a blacksmith whose blade making talents are legendary in the small country of Immerland on the northern reaches of the small planet of Tessalindria.
He is the best blacksmith in the kingdom, and his blades are sought after by everyone for their quality and usefulness, but he has a strict policy of never making a blade whose purpose is the injury of another person. He makes the best scythers, kitchen knives, axes, hatchets, and other such blades, but will not make daggers, swords, or battle axes.
As the story opens, the smith runs afoul of the king when the king asks him to make a sword for his 15th birthday. His refusal lands him in the king's prison until he complies with the king's request. The smith, however seems content to uphold his principles in spite of the king's wrath, so the smith's son and the king's daughter take it upon themselves to try to resolve the impasse between their fathers by the smith's son making of the sword in spite of the smith's request that he not do this.
Neither of the smith's son nor the princess fully understands the complex history of the king, the smith, and the warring clans from the mountains that threaten the kingdom's southern mountain border of Immerland.
Through all this, the smith seems to be the center of every thread of intrigue and action, and the story chronicles the ins and outs of tangled emotions and history surrounding his knowledge of what is happening.
The story crescendos to a dramatic confrontation between the king of immerland and the prince of the mountain clans that draws large portions of Tessalindria's distant history into focus, catylized by the making of the sword for the Immerland king.

Story
Everyone loves Mathias. Naturally, when he discovers it’s his destiny to save the world, he dives in headfirst, pulling his best friend, Aaslo, along for the ride. However, saving the world isn’t as easy, or exciting, as it sounds in the stories. The going gets rough, and folks start to believe their best chance for survival is to surrender to the forces of evil, which isn’t how the prophecy goes. At all. As the list of allies grows thin and the friends find themselves staring death in the face, they must decide how to become the heroes they were destined to be.

Story
In the ancient moors of Scotland, the king of Calidon lies on his deathbed, cursed by a ring that cannot be removed from his finger. When a mysterious fey stranger appears to save the king, he also carries a secret that could tear the royal family apart. The kingdom's only hope will lie with two young men raised worlds apart. Aric is the beloved heir to the throne of Calidon; Albaric is clearly of noble origin yet strangely out of place. The Oddling Prince is a tale of brothers whose love and loyalty to each other defies impending warfare, sundering seas, fated hatred, and the very course of time itself.

Centuries ago, the murder of a beloved king tore apart the Kingdom of Caledun. The land was plunged into chaos and thousands perished. A new order was established in an attempt to return Caledun to its former glory. It failed, but in its place rose the beginnings of the Code. During this same period, the mystical caretakers of the Great Wood retreated from the world of Kal Maran, their disappearance an ominous harbinger of the suffering that was to follow. The Great Wood now grows out of control. Cities, towns, and villages have fallen before the relentless march of the forest.
