  Hone your prophetic voice in tonight’s medieval fantasy bedtime story. In tonight’s story, you are a gifted healer and practitioner of natural magic; you have recently entered the service of the regent of the Kingdom of Brenindor, and you work alongside his trusted mage.

You don’t need to have heard the other installments to enjoy this story, but you may recognize some of the threads woven throughout.
