More about White Rabbit Lullaby: Desiderium - desiderium (noun): an ardent longing, as for something lost I used to be the top mercenary in the Strangefells. Now I’m mundane, vulnerable, and living on borrowed time. A lesson I’m learning in spades? Powerlessness doesn’t mean peace. The King of the Unseelie is circling, but he’s only one of many waiting for my downfall. But there is hope. The Brotherhood of Levi, in their legendary madness, may hold the key to recovering my magick. It’s up to me to find answers, but the deeper I dig into the mystery, the worse everything gets. The answers lie in long-lost knowledge and the Brotherhood's hidden monastery, just for a start. And all of it leads straight back to dark matter, which I’m quickly finding isn’t at all what I thought it to be. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

The Death's Left Hand series is a paranormal urban fantasy fiction podcast, and our exclusive show, Paradise Afterglow, is available on Patreon. Paradise Afterglow is a mix of urban fantasy, sci-fi, and paranormal dystopian that follows the lives of four characters facing the reality of never being able to return to the world they once knew. About Trickster’s Ashes: Everyone assumes time travel would be a gift… but I wonder if they’d feel the same way if they knew about the strings attached. The only reason I exist is to help monsters escape from their prison. I’m a construct, forged from the ether and cosmic ash and given human form. My maker? The Titan, Kronos. I’m sure his reputation precedes him. They never meant for their tool to have a mind of its own, to want a life outside of plotting a prison break from the most notorious dungeon in the seven hells. Tartarus. Unfortunately for them, I’m not inclined to help. They got themselves locked away for good reason. At least that’s what I always thought. Now I’m second guessing everything I believed about my mission. The people I knew as allies are looking a lot like enemies, and those I was taught to view as an ultimate evil settle an unrest within me I’ve felt for a century. What is this connection? Am I being fooled and manipulated, or is the truth altogether different? And if everything I thought I knew is a lie, who’s the real enemy?
