Episode notes

Autumn sunlight on cobblestones, the rhythm of a busy shop, and the kind of warmth that makes you forget the world outside the city walls.

A family moves through an ordinary day — small joys, familiar frustrations, the comfort of routine. But the town is talking, and some conversations leave a chill that sunlight can't reach.

—

Narrated by Rebecca Hasler.

Set in D.W. Sheppard’s vast interconnected world where protective Gates hold back deadly monsters and treacherous flora, where safety is never guaranteed.
