The Weight of Necessary Deeds

Author: Jake Kerr | Epic Fantasy | Audio Drama | Thieves Guild | Full Cast February 25, 2026 Duration: 13:34
Some choices leave scars deeper than any blade. After a harrowing night on Dragon Road, Ralan, Rebecca, and Philos are reeling from a desperate act of survival. A horrifying encounter has left them with a chilling understanding of true evil, and the weight of a life taken—however necessary—now presses heavy on Rebecca’s soul. Philos grapples with the terrifying memory of losing control of his own body, while Ralan's comfortable notions of magic are shattered by a reality far more visceral and terrifying than any ancient legend.
