Karyne (00:00:07) – Hi fantasy readers. This is Karyne Norton, your fellow book binger, and you are listening to the Finding Fantasy Reads podcast where you can test out a new fantasy story every single week to find your next favorite author.

Today’s story stood out to me because it has a different flavor than most of the fantasy I read. It holds a world that’s rich with history and culture and pairs a young girl and an old man who are eager to find both a treasure and freedom. It’s written by Terry Madden, who clearly includes her interest in medieval and ancient culture and mythology in her writing. I’ll be narrating today’s story. Be sure to stick around to the end or check out today’s show notes to see where you can find more from Terry, as well as how to enter this month’s giveaway.

For now, please enjoy The Wood of the Old Blood by Terry Madden.
