About this listen

Six hundred years ago, a devastating conflict between the magical Myr'ides and a technological society known as the Ryn Dynasties fractured the world of Dennere into nine cursed realms, each ruled by powerful witches. The western coast has suffered under the Nightshawl--a realm of perpetual darkness--for centuries.

Kai is a fledgling Rune Runner, one of the brave who traverse the perilous borderlands between realms, carrying supplies and hope to struggling communities. As a man, his ability to wield ancient rune magic is rare, and he must prove himself in a world where such power traditionally belongs to women.

When a mysterious crystal dagger called the kris'thal chooses him as its bearer, he must embark on a quest to unlock the artifact's purpose before the witch Velthera expands the Nightshawl across all realms.

The Shadow's Grasp launches the Rune Runner saga with immersive worldbuilding, adventure, and the unbreakable bonds of family. This character-driven fantasy explores themes of sacrifice, identity, and the light that can be found even in the deepest darkness.
