LET ME TELL YOU A STORY…

AUDRA JASHOWIN is a storyteller without a purpose.

When all the tales in the land of Mithra-Sha lost their endings, Audra fled from her family’s rejection and the only home she ever knew. Now, with a sense of veiled danger haunting her heels and her life as devoid of direction as her stories, she arrives at long last in a city of fresh starts and second chances.

There, she finds an adventure greater than she ever dreamed.

JAIK GRISSOM might be the key to bringing back the power of all stories.

A simple farmhand with a way around weapons, Jaik possesses more than a sharp wit that sets Audra’s soul aflame. He’s a natural amplifier with the talent to breathe life into her tales…into all the tales in Mithra-Sha.

Chased from their comfortable lives by a stroke of ill luck on a fateful night, Audra and Jaik embark on a journey for answers—through the wilderness and over the raging sea, to the heart of storytelling itself. Along the way, the strange bond between them deepens as they begin to uncover a mystery that lurks beneath all the broken tales, written in the shroud of their own unlikely pasts.

To mend the fractured stories in Mithra-Sha, Audra and Jaik must learn to embrace what lives at the core of their own stories: the bravery and brilliance, the loyalty and love, and the purpose and power they both harness—together and apart.

And they must face a terrible truth penned between the pages of their quest…a tragedy that will change the course of history and rewrite the ending of their tale forever.

Unique Story with a Unique Twist

Like Renee’s other stories I’ve come to expect nothing of her best. And though there were a few questions still unanswered for me that I wish could have been explored, this stand-alone which was a first time for me to read of hers, I don’t think I could have asked for anything else. I can’t wait for the next installment and what Storymaster Dugan has in store next.

Such a good story!!

JAIK GRISSOM. Forever on of my favorites ❤️
Love this story so much especially with all the twists and turns I didn’t see coming, and the way the whole story came full circle.

The story is beautifully written and lyrical!

The story is Beautifully written and lyrical. It reminded me of reading Once Upon A Broken Heart and Belladonna.

I fell in love with Audra and Jaik and how they loved and supported each other in a way no one ever had. They shared their talent and skills and helped each other become more than they were. Their love was beautiful!

It's part of the Tales of Wonder and Woe series, which the author calls sequential stand-alones. Each story tells a different love story.

I listened to the audiobook and the reader enhanced the story! You'll want to get cozy with this one, as it's 660 pages or 10 hours (on 2.0 speed).
