About this listen
A quiet flame can hold back the dark.
In the gentle land of Eldertide, where hobbit-like halflings till gardens and sing songs by firelight, evil has begun to stir once more.
But salvation won’t come from kings or wizards…
It begins with Thistle of Willowdale, a humble halfling girl who’s never strayed beyond her garden gate.
When a wandering mage arrives bearing a secret relic and a warning of a forgotten Shadow, Thistle is chosen not for might—but for the quiet courage in her heart. Joined by her loyal friend Rory, she must carry a powerful token through the haunted Wilderwood, facing goblins, ghostly riddles, and ancient guardians.
✨ Along the way, she will learn that:
Even small hands can guard great light
Mercy is a rarer weapon than steel
And the deepest magic dwells in humble hearts
The Halfling’s Burden is a lyrical, emotionally rich fantasy in the tradition of The Hobbit, perfect for readers who long for:
Classic, Tolkien-style worldbuilding
Cozy but epic journeys
Underdog heroines and soft magic systems
Stories of light vs shadow told with heart
🛡️ “In a world of noise, Thistle’s story is a whisper worth hearing.”
