About this listen

A fallen empire. A failed republic. A frontier of alchemy, airships, magic, and machines.

When the Peace King of the Free Cities goes missing, aging former war hero Ellaria Moonstone uncovers a plot to overthrow the tenuous republic. Fearing that a powerful being called a Sagean Luminary has returned to build a new empire, Ellaria sends for help from old allies and expatriates scattered across the chaotic frontier.

Now, three aging war heroes, long past their prime and haunted by their pasts, are all that stand against a dark entity threatening the future. In their quest, they find themselves unwittingly mentoring a new generation to fight alongside them. But trust between the once inseparable veterans is not what it once was, and the evil they face has allies hiding in every shadow.

The Binding Tempest is the start of an award-winning epic sci-fi and high fantasy adventure injected with steampunk science. The saga that proves that heroes get better with age.
