About this listen
Bloodlines: Harsh Fate is a fantasy set on the continent of Mataan, a land originally inhabited by humans, elves, and dwarves, for the most part. A many-decade-long war with a race of people from across the ocean, known as Krakons, has defeated the original races and taken over the lands of Mataan. The human race has been assimilated into Krakon society as a slave class, with a few scattered to wild lands in the northwest, now called the Outlaw Kingdom.
But there has been a foretelling of a Ravenlock—one of the old rulers of the Dark Wars era—that would rise up once more, unite the races, and renew the war with the Krakons. A renewing of the first formal Joining, the true sign of this prophecy.
This is the story of one of Raklor Ravenlock’s scions, hundreds of years after the Dark Wars, found deep in the mountains of the Outlaw Kingdom—a short and somewhat concise telling of the events, occurrences, and happenings of his formative years. His journey to this fabled renewing.

Story
Lina Meisel, a retired librarian in Florida, is reading the newspaper one morning when she freezes. Her eyes lock on a photograph of a book she hasn’t seen in 65 years - a book she recognizes as The Book of Lost Names. The accompanying article discusses the looting of libraries by the Nazis across Europe during World War II - an experience Lina remembers well - and the search to reunite people with the texts stolen from them so long ago. The book in the photograph is one of the most fascinating cases.

Story
I never believed in the whole “light at the end of the tunnel” folly where people, after having a near-death experience, would startle awake in a cold sweat exclaiming, “I saw the light!” But there I was, in this so-called “tunnel” facing a glaring light, when the last thing I remembered was sleeping in my room - the royal bed-chamber, as others called it. Had I died? If so, how? King Grey once benefited from unrivaled strength, wealth, and prestige in a world governed by martial ability but now finds himself reborn in a society dominated by magic.

Infused with magic, shadows and starlight, the powerful godblades were believed to be lost nearly half a millennia ago, when the Godswar ended. Now, however, one has been found by the unlikeliest of wielders: Sampson Gaard, a blind but ambitious prince with something to prove. The only question is whether he controls the blade or the blade him. With an insidious evil lurking in the shadows, the answer may very well determine the fate of all Kingfall.

Story
Long ago, the world fell into twilight, when the great empires of old consumed each other in sorcerous cataclysms. In the south, the Star Towers fell, swallowed by the sea, while the black glaciers descended upon the northern holdfasts, entombing the cities of Min-Ceruth in ice and sorcery. Then from the ancient empire of Menekar, the paladins of Ama came, putting every surviving sorcerer to the sword and cleansing their taint from the land. The pulse of magic slowed, fading like the heartbeat of a dying man. But after a thousand years, it has begun to quicken again.
