Raven Son: The Song of the Sirin

Fantasy For Our Time Special Episode: Sample Audiobook Chapter From Nicholas Kotar’s Raven Son Series

Time, despite my best efforts to conquer it, has, yet again, conquered me! In all of my busyness, I wasn’t able to sit down and record my next podcast so, in lieu of a fresh episode this week, I figured I would take this opportunity to share an audiobook chapter from my Raven Son series.

Here is a description of the book:

An evil omen clouds the sky. A song of power returns. Can one man’s quest save the world?

Voran, a young warrior of Vasyllia, lives in a dying world. As blight ravages the countryside and darkness covers the sun, he can’t avoid hearing the rumors of an ancient spirit that devours souls. He feels powerless to fight the oncoming devastation until a mythical creature entrusts him with a long-forgotten song. Legend has it that such a song can heal the masses, overthrow kingdoms, and raise humans to divine beings…

Armed with the power of the song, Voran must hunt down the dark spirit before it achieves its goal of immortality. His quest takes him through doorways to other worlds and puts him on a collision course with seductive nymphs and riddling giants. With each step of the journey, the strength of the villainous spirit grows, as does Voran’s fear that the only way to save his world… is to let it be destroyed.
