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 shares a young woman’s perspective in a battle of the minds in the middle of an epic war. It’s written by Josiah DeGraaf, who loves crafting fantastical stories about characters who face the same dilemmas we do when we try to do the right thing. He works as the program director of the Young Writers Workshop, the marketing director of Story Embers, and also as a staff writer for Lorehaven. And somehow he also has time for board games, hiking, and hanging out with his eight younger siblings. I’m guessing he combines some of those last ones because he has the same number of hours in a day that I do.
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 the author. For now, please enjoy Visions of Grandeur by Josiah DeGraaf.

Narrator
Karyne Norton hasn’t found the key to time travel, immortality, or infinite lives, so she’s taking a break from nursing and photography to focus on raising four human beings while writing epic fantasy.
