Hi, I’m indie fantasy author, Melinda Kucsera, and in this episode Todd Fahnestock is joining me to talk about his book Khyven the Unkillable: Legacy of Shadows set in the world of Eldros Legacy.

What’s it about?

After 49 victories, gladiator Khyven the Unkillable needs one more win for freedom. But the king sends him to infiltrate a rebel leader known as the “Queen in Exile.” To earn his knighthood, Khyven must gain her trust...and betray her. Caught between the queen and king, Khyven struggles as respect for one grows and the ruthlessness of the other is revealed.

Legacy of Shadows, set in the world of Eldros Legacy series created by multiple authors, is an action-packed fantasy adventure.

What’s in this episode:

• Todd Fahnestock takes us into a world of gladiators, magic and political intrigue with an excerpt from Khyven the Unkillable: Legacy of Shadows, and we’ll talk about as many aspects of that as we have time to dig into.


• We’ll also find out what to expect from other books in this multi-author series and maybe hear some spoiler-free highlights.


• We’ll talk about Khyven's journey from celebrity fighter to a reluctant spy torn between honor, duty and redemption and discover the magic of noktum, the bloody spectacle of the Night Ring, and secrets of rebellion against a tyrant king.


• Join us in a place where champions seek purpose beyond the roar of the crowd, and shadows hide truths that could shake or save a kingdom. Here, forbidden magic abounds, and freedom comes with a cost too high for heroes and kings alike to pay.
