This is a one-hour novella you can start on the way to work and finish on the way home and as such will not have much world building or character development. The rest of the books in the series will be full length. This audiobook is narrated in duet style by Jacci Prior and Anthony Palmini.

A devastating plague, the missing cure, and a healer who didn’t plan for love…

I’m Faelynn, a healer and servant of the fae God. I’d sworn off every fae male who set his sights on me … until him. Dreythis was … unexpected. He has the answers to the questions I face, and resisting his pull on our journey will be no easy feat.

The fae in my city are sick with a mysterious plague, and my healer magic has done little to help. With so many dying, I never expected that crossing paths with this fae warrior would lead me to the cure. But will solving one problem only bring me to another?

And what sort of ancient power have we stumbled upon that should have stayed buried?

A Whisper of Secrets and Ashes is the first in a thrilling new series set in the same world as both the Fae-blessed and Wicked Fae series. It was initially released in Tales of the Lost Things, a multi-author collection of short stories. While this is a novelette and only about an hour long, the rest of the series will be full-length audiobooks. As such, there is not much world-building or character development until the next audiobook.
