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

It's pre-war 1938 Manhattan. Technology has made magic obsolete. So much so that people don't even think of magic anymore. In this world, Tommy Black and his odd grandfather walk to their favorite restaurant after watching an Errol Flynn movie. On the way they are suddenly confronted with the reality of powerful magical creatures.

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.

The hunt for the next artifact takes Tommy, Naomi, Mister Ali, and Arkady to the turbulent streets of war-torn St. Petersburg. As Tommy grapples with his frustratingly diminished connection to the staff, practicing his light magic in search of new purpose, the team must navigate the city's chaos to locate the elusive Russian Archmage known as the Angel of St. Petersburg. Amidst simmering tensions between Mister Ali's cautious approach and Naomi's growing power and impatience, Arkady undertakes a risky undercover mission to make contact. Will their gamble lead them to the powerful Archmage, or deeper into the dangers of a city on the brink?

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

Kings Folly is a daily, short-form, serial epic fantasy audiobook told from the perspectives of a ruthless tracker and a disillusioned magic-user. Each 5-15 minute episode is a ground-level chronicle of survival, following the duo through hostile marshlands, brutal creature encounters, and their desperate gamble to save a home that already abandoned them.
