Artifacts of the Arcane

<b>The world has abandoned magic, but magic hasn’t abandoned the world.</b><br /><br />From Jake Kerr, the Nebula-nominated writer of the popular <i>Thieves Guild</i> 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.<br /><br />A full cast fantasy serial audiobook with new chapters every week, <i>Artifacts of the Arcane</i> 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. <br /><br />----<br /><br />Check out our other audiobook podcasts!<br /><br /><b>The Thieves Guild</b><br />An epic fantasy centered around the city-state of Ness<br />Some secrets are worth dying for.

Betrayal

An important note this week: Due to circumstances beyond our control, we had to re-cast the role of Tommy Black. You will also notice that we have a new host, as well. We don't anticipate any further changes, and we apologize for disruption. We have decided to re-record the entire season with the new voices to provide a more holistic and immersive experience without the change in voices. We will be doing that over the next two months. Artifacts of the Arcane:The world has abandoned magic, but magic hasn’t abandoned the world.Tommy and Mister Ali meet with Lord Ainsley, where we hear a stunning revelation.----Find out more about series writer Jake Kerr:https://jakekerr.comVisit our epic fantasy podcast The Thieves Guild:https://podcastalchemy.studio/thievesguild/----Find out more about series writer Jake Kerr:https://jakekerr.comCheck out our other audiobook podcasts!The Thieves GuildAn epic fantasy centered around the city-state of NessSome secrets are worth dying for.
