Thank you for stopping by SGL today, my friends! I’m so excited to share with you this high fantasy tale.
As of writing this, there are four episodes to listen to and I listened to all of them on my recent road trip and it was such a delightful way to pass the time! McCormack isn’t creating simply another audiobook, he’s creating an immersive experience. Working with other creatives to do so with music, narration and art, it’s truly so fun to watch this story come to life.
Times are changing on the Teltran Isles – from being ruled by goodness, to the strong and ruthless. As the new world emerges, everything will depend on three people’s faithfulness. Farin is a farm boy from the Southern Wilds, about to have everything he’s dreamed of. Nurah, eight year old girl and her companion fox Pin – has an idyllic life with her family until she’s forced to confront a large, strange world outside of their own land. Durith is an ageing sage and Windteller of the Ruhi Order, watches in heartache as his friend and King Tirithan is burned on his funeral pyre.
They’ll each need to find strength, hope and courage far more than they’ve ever needed before to survive and protect what they love. As peace fails, an ancient music swells and grows in the deep places of the earth.
He shares that he is influenced by Tolkien’s writings and I could sense that in the beautiful storytelling throughout the episodes. There’s something of the descriptions and overall feel that draws me into the world and invites me to linger.
“They’re afraid. And fearful men do foolish things.”
– Farin, S1 E3
Durith is my favorite character so far. His weariness and heartache over losing his friend and king; his resolve to TRY… Ahhh, can’t wait to see how his story unfolds! Of course I’m curious to see how Farin fares as well as how Nurah and Pin navigate their changing surroundings.
“For every illness, there is a tea.”
– Gorith, S1 E4
All in all, I can highly recommend Tales of Teltra to my fellow readers, and eagerly await the next episode in July!
Here’s his Patreon! He’s also on Youtube and Instagram! You can purchase it on Amazon as well.
*In full disclosure, I was gifted a membership to listen to the story for my honest review. I’m so honored by this gift and look forward to sharing more reviews as the story unfolds!
