The world has abandoned magic, but magic hasn’t abandoned the world.

From Jake Kerr, the Nebula-nominated writer of the popular Thieves Guild epic fantasy audiobook podcast, comes the story of an alternate history where the industrial revolution destroyed the world's reliance on magic. In 1938 Manhattan, where magic is practically forgotten, young Tommy Black lives in an apartment with his reclusive grandfather. Until one day on a walk to their favorite restaurant they are attacked by ominous shadow creatures. Shocked to find out that his grandfather is a formerly famous archmage that wields a magical artifact, Tommy is tasked by his grandfather to escape with this artifact—the seemingly useless Staff of Light.

A full cast fantasy serial audiobook with new chapters every week, Artifacts of the Arcane follows Tommy as he finds new friends and discovers a world where magic is emerging anew, with the mightiest magic coming from a frightening illusionist in Germany, who is rumored to be able to sway people to his will with his voice.
