Frankie Corzo narrates an addictive space opera about a bounty-hunting crew that takes on a mission to earn a massive reward. Tavi and her crew have survived the galactic conflict between humanity and the alien race called the Valoff. Broken by the trauma of war, the enemies have settled into a tentative truce. Then, a Valoff general, Torran, contacts Tavi with an offer that's too good to pass up: retrieve a family heirloom and receive a huge payoff and the means of fixing her ship. Corzo breathes life into the shell-shocked Tavi and makes every character sound distinct and dynamic. The romance that develops between Tavi and Torran is tense and flirtatious--but deliciously slow burning. Corzo's performance is a sizzling complement to the story.

Petkoff’s strong performance brings to life all the creatures of this fantastical world.
The mythical realm of Skein is inhabited by vampires, werewolves, witches, demons, and Berserkers. Narrator Robert Petkoff is masterful navigating the wide range of characters, giving each a distinctive voice. He lends the werewolves a Scottish lilt, and his tone drips with evil as a particular vampire. The Accession, an ancient cycle of battle, is about to begin. As all the factions come together, connections are made: A vampire princess escaping her sadistic brother ends up wed to a Berserker. A werewolf finds his mate in a demon witch. A vampiress and an incubus form a partnership.

Knowelden’s performance is a perfect match for the nonstop banter, hilarity, and capers.
Lightly magical Victorian-era England is delightfully brought to life by narrator Elizabeth Knowelden. Best friends turned antiques experts Amelia Tarrant and Caleb Sterling have kept up a charade of professional loathing. After an ill-fated hug in boarding school led to vicious rumors and speculation, Amelia and Caleb vowed to never show more than the utmost decorum and courtesy toward each other. Both aspire to keep their hard-won positions at Oxford University pursuing thaumaturgical objects, even if it means feigning hatred while secretly maintaining their dear friendship. Despite their best efforts, Amelia continues to find herself competing, and squabbling, with Caleb. After yet another spectacle between the two over a magical object leads to public scrutiny, they are dispatched by their superiors to the far reaches of Cumbria.
Knowelden’s performance is a perfect match for the nonstop banter, hilarity, and capers.Pub Date: April 21, 2026
